Waste & Recycling

At this year's OLCV Annual Celebration dinner, we debuted a video featuring several Oregon business leaders, conservationists, and elected officials as they look back at the 2010 Gulf Coast oil spill. They go on to talk about the critical work that OLCV does to protect Oregon's environment and create jobs at the same time.

This week, we saw two huge victories for the Great Pacific Cleanup campaign that has been hard at work throughout the state, working with city governments to pass resolutions to “Ban the Bag” if the legislature does not pass one in the upcoming legislative session.

As summer is upon us, the Oregon Conservation Network, Oregon’s Largest Environmental Coalition, is in the process of choosing its “Priorities for a Healthy Oregon” for the 2011 session. As we make these decisions, we are all very aware of the tough choices Oregon is facing, and looking for innovative solutions to help the State meet its budget challenges and protect Oregon’s environment.

With just a few days left till Christmas you may be finishing up your shopping, having put a lot of thought into the holiday gifts you will be handing out to friends and family.

At the same time, while you might not say so, you anticipate what gifts will be waiting for you throughout the holiday season. While some will wow, there are those that force your mind into a bewildering wave of confusion and dread. You know the ones. They may end up as white elephant gifts and without a doubt cause what can best be called "present face."
