This public group is open to all those interested in sustainable development, green building, alternative and renewable energy sources, waste reduction and recycling, carbon-friendly commuting, composting, air and water pollution issues, organic living, office efficiency, and reducing toxins from your home (such as greener cleaners).
The intent of the group is to provide a grassroots approach to living green. We’re here to act as a catalyst giving you the tools you need to live simpler and more sustainable. Whether you’re new and not sure what steps you want to take, or a seasoned pro, anyone and everyone is welcome to join. This is a forum to meet other like-minded individuals in the Northwest. You’ll have the opportunity to attend informative lectures, seminars, workshops and presentations, book discussions, documentaries, explore some of the area’s local and organic cuisine, and participate in environmental community service activities.
The calendar is continuously being updated and is always full of local events. If you have an idea or would like to host an event, please email me the event details as far in advance as possible.

For this reason the Oregon Center for Environmental Health has developed our "EcoSafe Home" class. Read more
