LOCAL STORY
Portland neighborhoods write the book on sustainability
(Portland,
OR)- Sustainability begins at home, or at least in the neighborhood. A
coalition of 20 neighborhood associations in southeast Portland has
teamed up with Portland State University students to produce a
Neighborhood Climate Action Planning Handbook. The document, filled
with block-level examples, is intended to be a resource for
neighborhood groups interested in reducing their carbon footprint.
