However, some campus leaders say their input on the project hasn't been heard. Colorado Sun reporter Michael Booth reports that staff are saying more can be done to solve CU's pollution problems and embrace green technology.

Colorado Sun reporter Shannon Mullane said their goal is to help farmers figure out how to move water more efficiently.

Methane intensity is being measured in nine counties on the Front Range, including Weld, Boulder, and Larimer. Officials say the measurements will help the state meet its greenhouse gas emission reduction targets. The Colorado Sun Editor Lance Benzel joined »ĘąÚÍřÖ·'s Michael Lyle, Jr. to get more on the state's efforts.

Essentially, the company is being accused of “greenwashing” its operations by touting an ambitious climate goal that it has no viable plan to achieve.

The research highlights the growing green roof movement — and the challenges cities face in mandating rooftop green space.

They say those large-scale polluters might not be who you expect, pointing to a little-known natural gas producer called Terra Energy Partners. According to federal greenhouse gas emissions data, this small, privately owned company – headquartered in Texas, but operating exclusively on Colorado’s Western Slope - was the fourth largest source of methane emissions from the oil and gas industry in the entire United States in 2019.
