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.
At schools across Oregon, students, teachers and staff are making a difference in their communities with programs to recycle, reduce waste, save energy and conserve water.
Oregon Green Schools is helping with hands-on assistance,curriculum and funding resources, as well as recognition and events.
Oregon Green Schools is a volunteer-run, nonprofit organization that was formed in 1997. We are dedicated to energizing and engaging students through student-driven activities that advance their understanding and ownership of sustainability. We appreciate your donation of bottles and cans! Learn more about us at www.OregonGreenSchools.org
