What We Do
This page gives a summary of what we do at The Environmental Center, with links to each of our core program areas.
The Environmental Center is a team of educators, advocates and leaders working to embed sustainability into daily life in Central Oregon.
Our day-to-day job is to translate sustainability into practical, local action to create a healthy future for people and the planet.
Our current programs areas include:
- Youth Education: From classroom presentations to outdoor school days and learning gardens, we deliver programs on sustainability to the future generation of thinkers, teachers and leaders.
- Zero Waste: We are redefining the concept of “waste” in our community and working towards greater efficiency in everything we do.
- Transportation: We are advocating for a robust transit system and creating a vibrant bike culture in Central Oregon.
- Sustainable Business: We are supporting and promoting local, conscious consumerism and sustainable business practices.
We also host, at our campus in downtown Bend, a variety of events that bring like-minded people together to learn about sustainability and other environmental issues in our community.
