PCC Students Turn Out for a Cooler County!
Thanks to the student environmental group at Portland Community College's Rock Creek campus, the Cool Washington County petition is not over thirty signatures stronger - and the petition is fast-approaching the 300 mark. PCC students set aside some of their valuable time during the past couple weeks to gather signatures from the many Washington County residents who attend the Rock Creek campus - and their efforts paid off!
The snatches of information I've been getting from the Washington County Board indicate that the Board is still working on their "Washington County Sustainability Plan - apparently some kind of progress is being made. It won't be long now before its time to formally present the petition to the Board, as a way of helping to show how much support there is in our area for measures that reduce greenhouse emissions. Stay tuned for more!
And if you haven't already, and you live in Washington County, please SIGN THE COOL WASHINGTON COUNTY PETITION YOURSELF!
About Me
engel
Student at Pacific University
Hillsboro, OR USA
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
