Each year, Recycle Colorado staff, members, and volunteers head to the Colorado Capitol to meet with legislators to discuss legislation and waste diversion challenges. This is a way for anyone who wants to support new diversion initiatives and meet with their Senator and Representative. Materials and training is provided each year and newbies are encouraged to join.
Why should you consider lobbying with us?
Lobbying is a mechanism where all voices are heard by elected officials. Although many people focus on the lobbying efforts of large corporations, the impact of grass-roots lobbying should not be overlooked. Lobbying is a form of advocacy that allows you as a citizen, employee, or member of ours work together to support something you care about. Seize the opportunity to directly talk to legislators around the issues that are important to you and your state by joining Recycle Colorado’s lobby day where we share our vision for a less wasteful Colorado. Members from local government, large corporations, individuals, or small nonprofits all have a role as we speak to our legislators, so we hope you will join us.
We are excited to have you advocate with us for at the Capitol on March 12th!Â
This year we will be talking to legislators about the importance of reclaimed lumber and organics diversion to lay the groundwork for future legislation. We will also be lobbying bills we’ll be supporting as determined by our policy review over the next several weeks.
