If you like what you read and want to volunteer with these organizations, look for them on Volunteer Connect, Central Oregon's volunteer referral agency.
Stay Informed:
Keep up-to-date about local efforts to embed sustainability into how we live, work and play by signing up for our semi-monthly e-newsletter, Living the Green. Each edition will bring you updates on important efforts underway, upcoming events and opportunities to let your voice be heard.
Attend an Event:
Together, the Environmental Center and our Member Groups host well over 100 events every year. Most of our events are free and open to the public. All events are posted to our calendar. Check it out! Here’s a tip - bookmark our site so you don’t miss anything.
One of our favorite events is Green Drinks. Green Drinks is an international movement where sustainability-minded folks come together to network and share a green drink or two. The Environmental Center hosts Green Drinks at a different location on the last Thursday of each month. Check our calendar for details and join us for a green drink!
Take Action Personally:
Our team of dedicated staff and volunteers are working hard every day to translate the concept of sustainability into practical action. But no amount of work on our part can take the place of citizen action.
Each one of us needs to take steps to ensure a healthy future for people and the planet. And The Environmental Center can help. Read through our sustainability tips for home and for work and start your journey towards sustainability today.
