The Sangre de Cristo Group is involved in a number of campaigns locally, state-wide and nationally.
Our Activities
- Promote 100% Renewable Energy - Southeastern Colorado should be a smart energy hub, setting the pace for innovative and efficient energy production and use. We’re working to make that happen.
- Getting Outdoors - Experiencing the natural wonders Colorado has to offer is one of the best ways to show people why it’s so important to protect them. Our outings help make that connection.
- Support Sustainable Agriculture - We’re working with family farmers and ranchers to encourage low-impact land management and greater consumer access to better food choices.
- Fix Fountain Creek - Fountain Creek is threatened by pollution, flooding, and suburban sprawl. We’re working to change all of that and make this stream the natural asset it can and should be.
- Assure Safe Chemical Weapons Disposal - We won the battle for safer technology to destroy the chemical weapons at the Army’s Pueblo Chemical Depot. The struggle to actually get it done responsibly continues.
- Reduce Mercury Emissions - Pueblo is the mercury emissions capital of Colorado. We’re working with regulators and others to reduce those emissions and lose that title.
- Protect Our Ecosystems - Southeastern Colorado's unique combination of canyonlands, forested mesas and grasslands is threatened by the Army’s plan to expand its Piñon Canyon Maneuver Site. We’re monitoring this situation and working to stop expansion.
