Environmental/sustainable work in Yellowstone has been multi-faceted. Two "Greening" workshops have been held (1995 and 1997) specifically to increase awareness and partnerships with the local municipalities, states, and Federal agencies. Projects have included co-composting of municipal solid waste with 4 counties and two cities; rural recycling with 9 counties; a program that has substituted hydro-carbon oil with bio-synthetic oil in Yellowstone and surrounding communities; intelligent transportation work in the region; design standards for buildings; and an aggressive, integrated pollution prevention program.
