About us
Oregon Environmental Council brings Oregonians together to protect the water, air, and land we all share and love. We advocate for impactful, lasting solutions that get at the source of Oregon’s environmental problems and have real benefits for people’s health and quality of life. Our goals are a stable climate that safeguards our communities and economy; clean and plentiful water that supports people, fish and wildlife; and healthy homes and neighborhoods free of air pollution and hazardous chemicals. Founded in 1968 by concerned Oregonians across the state, Oregon Environmental Council is a membership-based, nonpartisan, nonprofit organization with a long record of success and a 4-star rating from Charity Navigator. Oregon Environmental Council works to create innovative change on three levels: we help individuals live green; we help businesses, farmers and health providers thrive with sustainable practices; and we help elected officials create practical policy. To achieve a future where every Oregonian is thriving in healthy environment, we strive for equitable environmental policies and practices that give everyone a fair shot at acting on their environmental values and being a part of environmental decisions that affect them. Oregon Environmental Council offers a collaborative, team-oriented, family-friendly workplace that treats employees as the responsible professionals they are.

Oregon, we have a problem! A yearlong hold means decades of dirty air ahead 🚚💨 This rule delay is a major blow for the entire state AND especially our most vulnerable communities. People living near highways and warehouses will now be exposed to even more diesel pollution 😞 OEC remains committed to stricter emissions that will cut the largest drivers of fossil fuel pollution in our state. https://lnkd.in/g86sPs6f

ANOTHER reason why we need a strong Climate Protection Program... NW Natural promised to deliver clean energy to Oregon 🤥 Instead, they're being sued for lying about the impact of greenhouse gas emissions on our climate... all while producing a substantial amount of the carbon pollution in our state 🏭 https://lnkd.in/gPEpSsDr
Multnomah County adds NW Natural to $52 billion lawsuit against fossil fuel companies

🏢⚡️ Bend is leading by example! A new resolution ensures all new & renovated city buildings will be built with pollution-free equipment, rather than fossil fuels. Heat pumps for the win 🙌 https://lnkd.in/gjbDkcCs
Supporters cheer Bend councilors' approval of commitment to 'fossil fuel-free' city-owned buildings
