On April 1st, Fossil Fools Day, about ten of us students at Pacific University - accompanied by two staff members from the Oregon Sierra Club - set out to march around the Pacific campus and into downtown Forest Grove, letting everyone we met know that we think fossil fuels are just plain foolish! We built up petitions, talked to passers-by, and had a good time; we even got a little press coverage. Ours was one of over 100 actions taking place across the country in protest of the fossil fuel industries - such as coal, oil, and liquefied natural gas. It's time to make these bad investments a thing of the past!

About Me

engel
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
