Here’s another chance to see all the slides shown at the Town Hall.
Community Scrapbook
Community Scrapbook highlights the sustainability achievements of local organizations and businesses during the last year. These actions are moving our community toward our goals of environmental quality, social equity and economic vitality.
Town Hall
Participants were seated at tables of eight for a fast-paced, interactive Town Hall program that included three parts, each with a presentation from the main stage followed by discussion and activity at the tables. Electronic voting by attendees will determine the direction of our local sustainability efforts in the coming year.
Immediate Action: Responding to Our Climate Emergency
Mary Wood, UO Law School
This year’s keynote speaker was Mary Wood, University of Oregon law professor and author. Wood originated the approach called atmospheric trust litigation, to hold governments worldwide accountable for reducing carbon pollution within their jurisdictions. Her research is being used in cases and petitions brought on behalf of children and youth throughout the United States and in other countries.
Sustainability Fair and Town Hall is an annual event organized by the Corvallis Sustainability Coalition and supported by a variety of business sponsors and individual donors.
