About ColorBrightonGreen.org

ColorBrightonGreen.org is a non-profit organization focused on education and action to reduce our impact on the global climate and to build community through common purpose.  The organization began as a committee of the Green Brighton Task Force, which was established by Supervisor Sandra Frankel in May 2007 to address the town's climate impact.  After the Task Force submitted its recommendations to the Town Board in September 2008, ColorBrightonGreen.org became independent of the town government.  It has affiliated with Center for Environmental Information (CEI) as its non-profit fiscal agent.

Mission

The mission of ColorBrightonGreen.org is to develop and implement coordinated programs that engage Brighton residents of all ages, educators, businesses and community organizations in individual and collective actions that protect and improve our environment. Our vision is of Brighton as a community where natural resource conservation is a central part of the culture of its residents, community organizations, businesses, and public and private institutions.  A majority of citizens and businesses in Brighton take actions on an ongoing basis to reduce their use of nonrenewable energy and other resources, which ultimately improves the global environment.
