The below is a release from GreenLane:
This year presents a historic opportunity for Oregon businesses to participate in climate change policy. Governor Kulongoski has recommended a significant package of climate bills for the 2009 legislative session. The Bill's focus on energy efficiency, creating carbon markets, creating new funding and incentives for renewables such as solar, energy efficiency and new clean transportation infrastructure and incentives. We at GreenLane believe that it can drive economic opportunities for many of our businesses and community members. We would like to give you an opportunity to learn more about it and get involved.
GreenLane has partnered with an organization in Portland, Climate Solutions, to bring you this business briefing. Climate Solutions works to find practical and profitable solutions to climate change. They are part of an organized campaign to pass the legislation. GreenLane along with Climate Solutions is engaged in organizing business community support. We would like to invite you to a meeting to learn about the Governor's Climate change package and what the business community can do to get involved. We will have speakers to talk about the details of the package and we will also discuss the business campaign that we are organizing to support the Governor.
At this meeting, we will have speakers to explain the Climate Package, the business case and the how you can get involved. We will hear from:
- Welcome from Mayor Kitty Piercy
