The Oregon Environmental Council advances innovative, collaborative solutions to Oregon’s environmental challenges for today and future generations.
Founded in 1968, Oregon Environmental Council is a nonprofit, non-partisan, membership-based organization. We protect the health of every Oregonian and the place we call home by working for clean air and water, a healthy climate, an unpolluted landscape and sustainable food and farms.
We work to create innovative change on three levels:
- We work with individuals to live green
- We work with businesses, farmers and health providers to thrive with sustainable practices
- We work with elected officials to create practical policy
Our vision for Oregon includes solving global warming, protecting kids from toxics, clean and plentiful water for all Oregonians, building sustainable economies, and supporting sustainable food and farms.
