Addressing Fire in a Fiery Climate

This special program focuses on what we might do to minimize the problems and risks of fire. While we recognize that fire is an essential component of our Southern Oregonian forests, we also understand that there are steps we can take to minimize the risk that fire and smoke pose.

Can Oregon Lead by example? A Discussion of Oregon Climate Legislation

Oregon has a reputation for being a leader in the arena of environmental protection. Unfortunately, we are not on a trajectory to achieve the emissions reduction goals established by the 2007 purely voluntary policy. Meanwhile, in 2018 we have seen reports from multiple sources indicating how urgent it is that we reverse global warming and start now. The pressure on states to step up to the plate is even greater. The program will explore why we need legislation, what the legislation will do, and what it will means for Oregon residents.

SOCAN's DRAWDOWN Activities

Drawdown is that point in time when the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere begins to decline on a year-to-year basis. “Drawdown” is also the title of a book, and a website (drawdown.org), that document solutions aimed at resolving global warming by reducing greenhouse gases.
