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!

About Me

Hillsboro, OR USA

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
