Commit to Tomorrow

Here’s the thing about climate change (which is real, and real scary):

We’ve got to do what we can, and we’ve got to do it now.

The good news is that there is a lot we can do to preserve this place that we know and love. Some of it is small stuff we can do on our own—simple acts like recycling and composting, taking the bus and a shorter shower, and doubling down on home insulation. But -there are bigger things we must do together as a community! Like running our electrical grid on 100% renewables (check!), erecting buildings that are 100% electric and more efficient (most of a check!), and reducing our emissions by 100% in the next 25 years (we’re all working on it!).

What is Commit to Tomorrow?

Commit to Tommorrow is a city of Aspen initiative aimed to educate local residents about how they can live more sustainably, and highlighting local sustainability champions and how their efforts contribute to preserving Aspen's environment. For October, we are focusing on all things energy - everything from local businesses are upgrading their energy systems, or the city of Aspen's 100% renewable grid! Energy efficiency is at the heart of creating a resilient, low-impact community. From upgrading appliances and lighting to adopting all-electric buildings, these efforts help reduce emissions, lower costs, and protect the natural beauty that makes Aspen unique. This month, we’re celebrating the people and projects making clean, smart energy a reality—showing that every small change adds up to a brighter, greener tomorrow.
