Become Involved

  
As a city employee, your efforts are invaluable to the success of Denver's EMS. For an EMS to work, the city needs your help in the identification of environmental issues and generation of environmental solutions. Here are some more ways that you can become involved:


Anyone who works for the city must... If you drive a vehicle or work with equipment…
  • Look for ways to eliminate or reduce hazardous waste
  • Prevent spills, monitor for leaks
  • Report spills if they occur
  • Minimize vehicle idling
If you’re involved in purchasing or planning...
  • Purchase environmentally friendly materials
  • Implement green landscaping and building techniques
If you work in an office…
  • Reduce your waste, take advantage of recycling opportunities
  • Use only what you need
  • Turn off your computer and lights when not in use
  • Conserve office paper by sending documents electronically or by printing on both sides
 
The Public Works/ Fleet Maintenance crew received Denver’s Environmental Champion Award for their efforts to "eliminate hazardous waste while cleaning automotive parts."
