Come mend the metabolic rift! Portland might seem “green”
but did you know that 40% of the energy we consume from privately owned
and traded utility companies is still being extracted from the burning
of coal? The rich west hills sure are pretty with their abundant and
beautiful trees, but the working people of east Portland experience
great health risks every summer due to a lack of temperature-dampening
tree canopy. Did you know that many of our elected officials would
rather build new highway lanes and sell more cars than expand public
transit and make ridership free and accessible to all residents of our
county? That’s not all that’s messed up about “Green” Portland. Come
find out more and help make our city truly green with working people at
the center of how we consume, produce, and restore our relationship with
the unique and beautiful ecology of the Pacific Northwest.
