For nearly 50 years, OEC has helped put in place programs, such as the Bottle Bill, that touch the lives of every Oregonian on a daily basis, empowering them to be part of the solution to environmental challenges while enabling them to lead healthier lives. For example, we have played a leadership role in making it possible for Oregonians to recycle at their curbs, take part in “car-sharing” programs, send their kids to “Eco-Healthy” certified childcare facilities, and purchase cleaner energy and less toxic products. Our current program priorities are: climate protection, clean water and toxic-free kids.
