Friday afternoon, ten students from Pacific University headed for downtown Hillsboro, to show their support for a strong Washington County Sustainability Plan. It was a cold and windy two hours, but we stood outside the County Administrative Building with our home-made signs, and got lots of support from passers-by. We'll follow up on this event over the weekend by generating emails to the Board of Commissioners. A strong sustainability plan for this county is on the way!

If you haven't already, and you live in Washington County, please SIGN THE PETITION TO THE BOARD, now!

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
