FWD: hold OFRI accountable

Dear John, OFRI is not what it seems. Masquerading as an educational group, the Oregon Forest Resources Institute spends their time lobbying and advertising in favor of the timber industry, and covering up scientific studies that would harm the industry’s image. All this, using tax dollars. Last wee…

Breaking: hold OFRI accountable

  Dear John, Yesterday, Oregon Secretary of State Shemia Fagan released an audit investigating the Oregon Forest Resources Institute (OFRI). Her report confirms what we already knew--OFRI has been using tax dollars to fund timber industry lobbying and propag…

Cute Puppy Pictures! >> FWD: Enter OLCV’s 2021 Environmental Photo Contest!

Dear John, This weekend, I went camping at Timothy Lake on Mt. Hood. It was my puppy Cashew’s first camping trip, so of course I took a bunch of pictures. I wanted to show you these two:   Doesn’t Cashew look pensive, staring off at Timothy Lake’s dark waters? She enjoyed her day sniffing around fal…

FWD: Take action for clean energy, jobs, and justice

Take action for clean energy, jobs, and justice

  Dear John, This week, Portland broke the record for its hottest temperature ever recorded--three days in a row. The 110+ degree temperatures were hot enough to fry an egg on the sidewalk, melt cables on the MAX, and even make roads buckle in the heat. At l…

LAST CHANCE for key wildfire bill

  Dear John, I’m just going to be blunt: wildfire season is underway, and things aren’t looking good for Oregon.  Governor Brown already declared a drought emergency in nearly half of Oregon’s 36 counties. Our state is heading into a hot, dry summer. Portlan…
