The state ranks fifth in the nation for concentration of artists, and arts industries comprise the fifth largest cluster of the Colorado economy. Creativity is more than a perk of proper civilization – it’s a source of income for millions of architects, writers, designers, performers and more.<br /><br />But culture doesn’t just bring in jobs, it also brings in audiences. Colorado attracts “cultural tourists,” who stay 50% longer and spend 36% more than other travelers. And that money compounds: every $1 in cultural spending in metro Denver creates $1.32 for other businesses, producing $392 million in “new money” (revenue from outside the region) every year.<br /><br />So it’s no surprise that state officials recently created Colorado Creative Industries (a merger of the Office of Film, Television and Media, the Colorado Council on the Arts, and the Art in Public Places program), a bold move that positions Colorado to take advantage of their creative potential.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXF1PnYZIpiaPRTrNWl_suhScbk6tg_myZDqEfE945DSXf0kOcPbMgVwXsVJxFewtmvp8l7c1vlwB6yp9WGvKJwKxF2YxbV9gCpgpgYUd9jja1ARPJyiOdzE_33MkpdvWJDqCY7HBm8Wmv/s1600/1280437612.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 120px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXF1PnYZIpiaPRTrNWl_suhScbk6tg_myZDqEfE945DSXf0kOcPbMgVwXsVJxFewtmvp8l7c1vlwB6yp9WGvKJwKxF2YxbV9gCpgpgYUd9jja1ARPJyiOdzE_33MkpdvWJDqCY7HBm8Wmv/s200/1280437612.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499437815685399378" border="0" /></a>Here in Fort Collins, Beet Street has taken up the task of attracting artists to the area. Maintaining proper venues and a reliable funding strategy for artists are just a few of the issues they are tackling with input from creatives in the area. Beet Street is also amping up the volume on public, accessible art with programs like Streetmosphere, which features local artists of all types on street-corners downtown on summer weekends.<br /><br />Here at One Tribe Creative, we’re proud to support creative expression in all its forms. We know, first hand, that creativity enriches a community at every level.<br /><br />For more information on the economic benefits of the arts, visit <a href="http://www.coloarts.state.co.us/">www.coloarts.state.co.us</a>.<br />For more information on Beet Street, visit <a href="http://beetstreet.org/">beetstreet.org</a>.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&add=http://onetribecreative.blogspot.com"><img src="http://static.technorati.com/pix/fave/tech-fav-1.png" alt="Add to Technorati Favorites" /></a></div>One Tribe Creativehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13782115996375061854noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6589829809246419766.post-58026329694869615272010-07-07T13:13:00.000-07:002010-07-07T13:52:06.069-07:00Be Local: Spread the dough<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh32LFZ5Y60-FCFxYQkaN5yRYOFECpzHeNjDHuOSbysb-zYrgk7EWVrCxAlsK8XZWS1amJcWY1xRXgG4OTIWCiufXjsWp6UQDu9IZbVpGBG7RYPdhCcGhN5qd2l592XDKlO1aWT51DNuCT3/s1600/BLocal_logo_RGB.jpg"><img style="float: right;

<br />
<br />In Fort Collins, where One Tribe calls home, Be Local Northern Colorado is supporting local farms, garnering deep discounts at local businesses, and challenging the community to invest in homegrown resources. Their 20/20 Challenge asks people to pledge $20 of their weekly budget to be spent in local businesses. So far, 634 pledgers have spent $253,600. This money, as it circulates, is effectively a 1 million dollar investment in the community.
<br />
<br />How, you ask? The proof is in the numbers: money spent with local independent businesses circulates 2-4 times in the local economy, even by conservative analysis. When we keep money in the neighborhood and produce goods close to home, it creates local jobs, reduces transportation costs, and keeps businesses accountable to stakeholders and the environment. <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;">

ClimateWise is a city-run program that aids local businesses with reducing grenhouse gas emissions and saving money in the process. The EnvirOvation ceremony is a celebration of local businesses that are committed to environmental and economic sustainability. One Tribe Creative joined at the Silver level 2009 with plans to progress to the Gold level in 2010, and Platinum in 2011.<br /><br />In 2009 One Tribe Creative reduced 12.5 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent by initiating a lighting retrofit program, co-mingled recycling, and an alternative transportation program.<br /><br />By retrofitting the lighting at One Tribe Creative's headquarters, the Armory Building in Old Town Fort Collins, we reduced our electrical consumption by 14,208 kWh and saved $718.60 of crude oil in 2009.<br /><br />According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the average annual electricity consumption for a U.S. residential utility is 11,040 kWh; One Tribe Creative saved 3,168 kWh more than the average U.S. household uses in a year.<br /><br />With our lighting retrofit program, the carbon dioxide reduced is equivalent to 408 mature trees absorbing the carbon emissions.<br /><br />In 2009, One Tribe Creative had a diversion rate of 47%, which means that waste materials have been diverted from traditional disposal such as land filling or incineration. Our goal is to increase One Tribe's diversion rate to 50% by 2011.<br /><br />With our co-mingled recycling program, the carbon dioxide reduced is equivalent to 32 mature trees absorbing the carbon emissions.<br /><br />One Tribe workers took alternative transportation to work by biking, walking, or taking the bus a total of 448 miles in 2009 that reduced 698 pounds of carbon dioxide equivalent. This is equal to 13 trees being planted to absorb carbon.<br /><br />One Tribe Creative: Sustainability is not just for Earth Day.

Today, one in four people don’t have a toilet. This means people must relieve themselves in open streets, fields, or dangerous back alleys. In India alone, the number of people who practice defecation is double the population of the U.S. Because of situations like this, at least 1.8 million people die from fecally-transmitted diseases every year.<br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">To bring awareness to these issues, we're observing November 19th as World Toilet Day. Established by the World Toilet Organization and celebrated annually, it seeks to increase awareness of the importance of toilet sanitation and each individual's right to a safe and hygienic sanitary environment.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Why Toilets Matter</span></b><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br />From </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">United Nations Human Developm<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">ent Report</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">:<br />“</span></span></span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">When it comes to water and sanitation, countries tend to have short memories. Today, people in the cities of Europe and the United States live free from fear of waterborne infectious diseases. At the turn of the 20th century the picture was very different. The vast expansion of wealth that followed industrialization increased incomes, but improvements in more fundamental indicators such a life expectancy, child survival and public health lagged far behind. The reason: cities exposed people to greater opportunities to amass wealth but also to water contaminated with human waste. The mundane reality of unclean water severed the link between economic growth and human development. It was not until a revolution in water and sanitation restored that link that wealth generation and human welfare started to move in tandem.”</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">What Can You Do?</span></b></div><div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></b></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">DONATE: </span>The solutions are simple and cost-effective.
