Welcome to the first issue of Boulderganic. Devoted to all that is green, sustainable and local in Boulder County, Boulderganic brings together a wealth of information for residents who are concerned about global climate change and want to do their part to protect the environment and build a sustainable local economy. In the pages that follow, you’ll find interviews with experts, as well as people who’ve found creative ways to decrease their carbon footprint and their impact on the environment.

You’ll also find helpful tips for greening your own life and an extensive listing of green and locally owned businesses that share your goals.

Perhaps the best thing about Boulderganic is that it walks its talk. What you’re holding in your hand has been printed on 100-percent recycled paper that utilizes 50 percent post-consumer waste, was processed without chlorine and was manufactured with electricity offset with Green-e® certified renewable energy certificates. It was more expensive for us, but it saved 11 fully grown trees, 2,410 gallons of water, 5 million Btu of energy and generated 527 fewer pounds of solid waste and 891 fewer pounds of greenhouse gases.*

Another great aspect of Boulderganic is that it’s locally owned. The people who produced this publication are your neighbors. We share the vision and the greater goals of our community and believe that our work will make it easier for all of us to live greener, more fulfilling lives. We hope you find Boulderganic to be inspiring, thought provoking and helpful as we work together to build a healthy, sustainable future.
