Our Mission
Oregon Environmental Council safeguards what Oregonians love about Oregon – clean air and water, an unpolluted landscape and healthy food produced by local farmers. As a member-supported nonprofit more than 40 years, we’ve been a champion for solutions to protect the health of every Oregonian and the health of the place we call home.
The Oregon Environmental Council advances innovative, collaborative solutions to Oregon’s environmental challenges for today and future generations.

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, cleaning up our rivers, building sustainable economies, and ensuring healthy food and local farms.
