Learn About Environment

Environmental issues are a major concern worldwide, with climate change being one of the most pressing issues. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), global temperatures have already risen by 1.1°C since pre-industrial times, and we are currently on track for a 3°C temperature rise by the end of the century. This will lead to more frequent and intense heatwaves, floods, droughts, and wildfires, resulting in severe economic and social impacts. In addition to climate change, other environmental issues include air and water pollution, deforestation, loss of biodiversity, and plastic pollution. It is estimated that 9 million people die each year due to pollution-related causes, and up to 12 million hectares of forest are lost annually. These issues require urgent action from individuals, businesses, and governments worldwide to mitigate their impact and preserve the planet for future generations.

eGo CarShare

eGo CarShare is Driving Shared Change eGo CarShare’s mission is to empower our community to live a car-free lifestyle and have a positive impact on our health, wealth, and shared environment. We aim to make Colorado a “Cooler”, healthier and more socially equitable place to live. We’re Driving Change Mobility, Climate Change and Social Equity As a mission-driven not-for-profit organization, we focus on positively contributing to the communities we serve. We are motivated by the idea that by providing people with the option to live a car-lite lifestyle, we are reducing our collective impact on the planet. That is why we have set the goal to become the country’s first nonprofit Electric Vehicle (EV) carshare program. This includes supporting low-to-mixed income (LMI) communities that are typically underserved when it comes to affordable mobility options. CarSharing Without Borders We noticed that the larger, for-profit carsharing companies were not serving the communities that need it most. eGo extends its reach and partners with low-to-mixed income neighborhoods to provide carsharing services, as well as mobility-related education and outreach. Our emphasis on social equity combined with our commitment to environmental stewardship means that we are able to mitigate climate change in a way that improves people’s financial health and quality of life.
