Cresting the hill
The power of our NO fueled our run to the top of the hill... the power of our YES will lead us on over it and beyond.
Social change
We have met the wrong enemy
Let’s forgive ourselves for being part of the only system there is. But let’s change the damned system so we can do what we know is right, necessary, and possible: make the transition from fossil fuels to a clean energy economy.
Our climate movement now: from opposition to opportunity
The Northwest is absolutely humming with climate activism of every sort. Our annual breakfast speakers challenged us to keep up the fight against fossil-fuel dominance, injustice and political inertia, and move from opposition to opportunity.
Regional climate leadership, global climate impacts
We're inspired by this young activist who described, at a recent Climate Solutions event in Olympia, what climate activism means to him. We think you'll be inspired too.

Oregon's transit justice movement is critical to the success of our climate movement.
Super session in Salem starts today
Working together, we can make sure Oregon seizes the day. Here’s a rundown of several priorities and upcoming events in 2015.
Getting Serious about Reducing Carbon Emissions

How a strip club becomes a climate justice solution
Working together, local groups in Portland's Cully neighborhood are redefining sustainability and development as an anti-poverty strategy.
Clean power prices drop, installations and orders up
Renewable fuels advance; carbon pricing on the docket; increasing opposition to oil-drilling; China to cap coal by 2020; global warming impacts far and wide.
“This is the end of the Fossil Fuel Era, the beginning of the Clean Energy Era.”
The 400,000 People's Climate Marchers are right: the carbon bubble is beginning to pop. Coal is on the ropes, and those who have been resisting divestment are now kicking themselves for staying in too long. Oil and gas will lose their grip more slowly, but they will lose it.
