Oregon Environmental Council

The Oregon Environmental Council safeguards what Oregonians love about Oregon -- clean air and water, an unpolluted landscape and healthy food produced by local farmers. For more than 40 years we've been a champion for solutions to protect the health of every Oregonian and the health of the place we call home. Our vision for Oregon includes solving global warming, protecting kids from toxins, cleaning up our rivers, building sustainable economies, and ensuring healthy food and local farms.

We started back in 1968 when a group of ordinary citizens came together to form the Oregon Environmental Council. These were PTA and garden club members, outdoor enthusiasts, conservationists and other folks who believed they could get more done to protect the legacy of a clean and healthy Oregon by working together. Today, OEC puts these same values into action as we bring Oregonians together for a healthy environment. 

And we're efficient: 83% of our income goes directly to our program work.
