Help us celebrate the clean water, air and land we all love and share with the most popular women’s sports team in the world, for an Earth Day match on Sunday, April 15. Tickets are being offered at a reduced rate with a generous portion going to back to support Oregon Environmental Council.
In 2017, the Portland Thorns won the NWSL championship, their second in five years. After bringing the championship trophy back to the Rose City in October, the Thorns are set to raise their championship banner into the rafters of Providence Park forever at the Home Opener, and Oregon Environmental Council will be there to celebrate.
Our 2018 Earth Day Celebration is a great way to start off the week of giving back to the environment!
By taking part in this event you will be supporting Oregon Environmental Council along with some of the top nonprofit organizations in the state of Oregon.
Along with the Portland Thorns we are excited to be teaming up with the Audubon Society of Portland, SOLVE Oregon, and Friends of Trees. For every ticket purchased for the Portland Thorns Earth Day event, a portion of the proceeds will be donated back to each respective nonprofit participating.
Along with the ticket to the game, Earth Day supporters will receive a free Thorns Earth Day Reusable Bag, available to pick up at the Earth Day fair in the stadium on match day. In addition, for each “Earth Day” ticket purchased an Oregon Native Tree will be planted in your name.
Special thanks to Ash Creek Forest Management and Scholls Valley Nursery for donating the trees and providing the labor to plant them at the Sandy River Delta Recreation area.
What do you think of when you think of Oregon? The Painted Hills or the Gorge? Earthy Pinot Noirs or hoppy IPAs? Pickathon or the Country Fair?From January 29 to April 17, it might be something else that comes to mind… something perhaps not as flashy as our state’s signature natural wonders, drinks, or events, but nonetheless just as uniquely Oregon: the kicker!
As we eagerly await the release of the final rules for Oregon’s Climate Protection Program (CPP), OEC and our partners in the Coalition for Climate and Economic Justice extend a sincere “Thank YOU” to everyone who took the time to submit public comments to help restore this vital program.
Together, we’ve taken critical, local action in the global fight against climate change.
The Power of Our Colle
OEC is thrilled to be featured in KGW’s Good Energy, a partnership with OnPoint that’s all about the benefits of clean transportation, converting to clean renewable energy, and supporting organizations that are committed to protecting Oregon’s environment. The OEC Team had a blast riding e-bikes, sharing our work on EVs, and leading a green cleaning workshop with the OnPoint Team!

One of OEC’s newest members, Greyson, will be 30 in 2040, when Oregon transitions to 100% renewable electricity, fuels produced in-state will be more eco-friendly than ever, and climate pollution from oil and fossil-fuel gas utilities will be cut almost 90%!
At OEC, we believe that a high-quality transportation system is one that offers people healthy and safe choices to meet their transportation needs. Electric bicycles and other kinds of small electric mobility devices, like scooters and skateboards, are potentially transformative because they can meet many of the same needs as a car, but with fewer costs, and a lot less
