Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

2007
After a successful, collaborative Pikes Peak Earth Day in April, 2007, some of the event organizers decided to keep meeting and look for ways to green the region. The Sustainable Living Working Group was convened by the Pikes Peak Justice & Peace Commission and seven people began meeting monthly.
2008
In January, 2008, the SLWG opened the doors for broader participation by holding the first Green City Summit at the Penrose Library. About 125 attended and identified three top priority areas: recycling, renewable energy, and transit.
The charter members of the new Green Cities Coalition of the Pikes Peak Region were Jane Ard-Smith, Art of Engineering, Catamount Institute, Center for Creative Leadership, Colorado College, Colorado Springs Conservation Corps, Old Town Bike Shop, Pikes Peak Justice & Peace Commission and Pikes Peak Mobility Coalition. This website - envisioned as a complete portal for all things green - was launched.
At Green City Summit 2 - held on World Environment Day, June 5, 2008 at the Colorado College Cornerstone Arts Center - working groups were formed around these three issues as well as government relations, education and coalition-building.
2009
The Local Food Working Group was formed. The functions of government relations, education and coalition-building were folded into each working group.
2010
The Water Working Group was formed.
The current Green Cities Coalition Steering Committee members are Jane Ard-Smith, Gail Conners, Kevin Gilford, Scott Harvey, Ellen Johnson-Fay, Ray Krueger, Steve Saint, Mark Tremmel and Ingrid Wood.
