Spring greetings!
Did you get a chance to check out our Earth Week special edition? What a vibrant community we have, with many exciting events this month!
Really proud to learn that Portland and Multnomah County are committing to 100% clean, renewable energy by 2050.
As Senator Jeff Merkley says, “Despite efforts to roll back key climate action by the Trump administration, Oregon continues to be on the front lines for bold climate action.” To lead on the federal level, Senator Merkley is introducing the 100 by 50 Act, to slow climate change by ramping up clean and renewable energy to at least 50% by 2030 and 100% by 2050. “It’s a bold plan, but one we can and must achieve to save our beautiful blue-green planet.”
We sure hope our GPSEN partners and RCEs around the U.S. can support this new plan and continue to educate in ways that increase the skills and awareness we need for a sustainable future. Check out the details below for more opportunities.
