In the work we do every day, employees of Eagle County Government share a responsibility to protect and improve the quality of our natural environment. Eagle County works to continuously improve our environmental performance. We are committed to protecting wildlife habitat, protecting clean air and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, conserving water in buildings and landscapes, reducing use of paper, increasing waste diversion and recycling, and incorporating clean renewable energy to support our county operations. Our Environmental Management System provides a structure for setting priorities, taking actions, and sharing results. We conduct internal audits and management reviews to assure that our actions are consistent with our policies, and compliant with environmental regulations. In 2016 and each year forward, we set a goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from county operations 5% per year to achieve 50% reduction by 2030 (baseline 2OI2). Through innovation and continued investment in efficiency and renewable energy, we are working toward a clean energy economy that improves the health and quality of our community and local environment. f_i:'P"f- *,*'W,;:t*{g% *cJrvrrl.i:k: *{::tl.
