OLCV e-bulletin: 2008 to lead us to an even greener 2009?
January 10, 2008
OLCV e-bulletin
Edition 1
|
Keep your eye on the prize
|
This spring look for OLCV's Seal of
Approval. It's a great way to find out who's earned our endorsement and identify
true supporters of the environment.
Last year, our Legislators and Governor enacted
sweeping safeguards that will improve the lives of Oregon families for
generations.
We're hopeful that the 2007 session was just a sign of things to come. In January and February we'll be busy interviewing
candidates as part of our endorsement process. Look for some early endorsements
in the next edition, and the full slate by the end of March.
In the meantime, find out who's earned the OLCV endorsement in prior
years here.

As an E-bulletin subscriber you have an opportunity
to share your ideas for environmental change
with your peers.
It's not only fun to read about the experiences of
others, it's helpful too. Whether you know of a great place to hike, live in a
city that is greening up its act, know of five simple things you can do to make
your life a little greener or just have a photo of Oregon's natural beauty: when
you share your interests and experiences, we can all learn something
new.
So why not share what you know? We'd like to invite you to submit
material for publishing consideration in one of our future editions or our blog. Email
your essays, stories or photographs to Tresa
Horney, OLCV E-bulletin editor.

Does your dog have what it
takes?
|
We've received some great submissions for OLCV's
next top dog. But it's still anybody's game.
As you know, for over 30 years, OLCV has been
recognized as a strong leader and effective watchdog for the environment.
We monitor your elected officials and how
they're voting on the environmental issues so we can keep you informed
on the issues you care about.
If you know a dog that has what it takes to be the
face of OLCV's watchdog work, then send us their photo.
Email us a photo of your photogenic, four-legged,
furry friend with a brief essay of why you think your dog is more than just
another pretty face (50 words max).
Email your photo and essay to
Tresa by January 29 to
be considered.
