In May 2009, BVSD adopted a resolution supporting environmental sustainability, jointly created with City of Boulder, University of Colorado at Boulder and Boulder County.

These four organizations are committing to prioritize collaborative efforts in the following areas:

• Creation of a workforce available for green jobs through career and technical education training, and teaching and internship opportunities;
• Greenhouse gas emissions reductions and climate change adaptation planning, including unified carbon tracking and reporting;
• Identification of large-scale renewable energy opportunities; 
• Pursuance of initiatives in furtherance of zero waste goals; and 
• Exploration of joint funding opportunities to further implementation of all of the above.
