Denver going green
Mayor John Hickenlooper this morning unveiled an ambitious environmental program, called "Greenprint Denver," that calls for hybrid fuel cars for the city fleet, converting diesel powered vehicles to bio-diesel fuels, planting a million trees in the next 20 years, and making Denver one of the most water-conservative cities in the nation.
In his third State of the City address, the mayor said there is a real danger this generation runs the risk of passing environmental problems to the next generation that are so great they can't be solved.
To ensure it doesn't happen, he said Greenprint Denver includes city, business, and citizen support.
That's it. I'm moving out of Arvada.
I hate to bring it up, but hybrids are expensive. I'm not saying it's a bad idea, but the garbage man can't fo everything.
