Priorities for a
Healthy Oregon
Climate
Solutions is a member of the Oregon Conservation Network (OCN), a coalition of
over 40 organizations.
Clean Fuels, Energy Efficient Appliances,
Protecting Oregon’s Waters and Safeguarding Oregon’s Scenic Waterways from
Destructive Mining Practices are our 2013 Priorities for
a Healthy Oregon: You can learn more about the priorities as well
as send a message of support to your legislator here.
Clean Fuels for Oregon
One
of OCN’s priorities, protecting Oregon’s Clean Fuels Program, is a
critical policy to ensure Oregon meets its greenhouse gas reduction goals, and
is top of Climate Solutions’ agenda this session.
The Clean
Fuels Now campaign brings together businesses and public interest
organizations in support of this critical policy, including most recently, the
Oregon Business Association. Please
join us by adding your company to the list of endorsers. Or contact Ashley Henry to find out how you
can get involved in this campaign.
Say NO to coal
Oregon should take every opportunity to shift investments from coal
to clean energy, and avoid any further investments that prolong the life of
coal plants in our state. Climate Solutions supports legislation that keeps our state moving in that direction
We are also a partner in the Power Past Coal coalition, helping to organize and support efforts to stop the export of coal from Northwest ports. Learn more about Power Past Coal .
Say YES to energy efficiency
Governor
Kitzhaber's 10 Year Energy Action Plan calls on Oregonians to build on our
strong legacy of energy efficiency success. Our state needs policies
that promote more energy efficiency investments within buildings, especially our
homes. Energy disclosure for
homeowners is an excellent way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, increase
value for homeowners, as well as support the growing green building industry in
Oregon.
New Energy Cities in
Oregon
Our New Energy Cities team is excited to build upon its prior work in Hillsboro, Albany, and with
Clean
Energy Works Oregon by partnering with Governor Kitzhaber’s office to help
make its Cutting Edge Communities strategy succeed in 2013.
