Check out this post from our freinds at Onward Oregon. Onward Oregon is working to establish grassroots groups in each of the Portland suburbs that have signed the Mayors Climate Protection Agreement - Beaverton, Hillsboro, Oregon City, Lake Oswego, and Gresham. Signing onto the Agreement is a good start for each of these cities, but citizen pressure will help ensure that they follow through fully with their commitment to a stable climate. Thanks to Onward Oregon for working on this!

Meanwhile, this site continues to push Washington County to join these and other cities by making a commitment to reducing emissions. PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION TO THE COUNTY!

Student at Pacific University

ENGEL: Environmental ethics; New leadership; Green development; Economic sustainability; Local action! As a student activist, I am working to bring attention to global warming in Oregon. Most of my work takes place at the local level; I have convinced my own city of Hillsboro, OR, to sign onto the US Mayors Climate Protection Agreement, and I am now working to get Washington County, OR to sign onto the county-level version of this same pledge. On my blog ENGEL (acronym explained above), I report on local government actions all over the state which either help or hinder the climate movement; there are lots of opportunities for readers of this blog to help contribute to the climate movement by making their voices heard; whether in city or county governments, at school, or anywhere else. Please help me make change in Oregon! -Nick
