Art of loving Oregon

People & Policies

OREGON’S FUTURE


Oregonians, working together over the last half-century have defined a state, a consciousness and a way of life with landmark legislation that has transformed the health of our communities and helped spark a ripple of change across the nation.

In the late 1960s & early 1970s, three innovative, bipartisan state laws launched Oregon Environmental Council’s decades-long work to protect the water, air and land we all share and love.

Senate Bill 100 (land use planning), the Bike Bill and the Bottle Bill now provide Oregonians with a legacy of vibrant cities, fertile farms and scenic landscapes. As we celebrate 50 years of loving Oregon in 2018, we are proud to recognize these legislative accomplishments with three public art installations. More on The art of loving Oregon.

People
Together, we are powerful. Virtually anything is possible when we roll up our sleeves and work together for the common good of all Oregonians. Hear from those who helped shape and define what it means to stand for the clean water, air and land we all share and love, since 1968 through today.
