Here are a few events and opportunities we wanted to let CUB members know about:
Great Opportunities to Light Your Home with Compact Fluorescent Bulbs
The Energy Trust has joined with select retailers and CFL manufacturers of Energy Star qualified lights to offer special lower prices on compact fluorescent bulbs (CFLs), through Dec. 31, 2005. Look for CFL bulbs at the special price of just 99¢ at participating retailers, which include certain locations of Fred Meyer, Bi-Mart, A-Boy Electric, Home Depot and others. For a complete list of stores, and information about why CFLs are a good deal, go online to PGE or call 1-800-ENTRUST (368-7878).
Sustainable Holiday Food & Gift Fair to Warm Hearts and Homes, A Benefit for Oregon HEAT
For the fourth year, Portland’s home-grown Give Green! Holiday Food and Gift Fair will take place Saturday, November 12th and Sunday, November 13th, at the Doubletree Lloyd Center (1000 NE Multnomah). The Holiday Food & Gift Fair features local, sustainable and healthy foods and gifts. Attendees will sample and browse organic chocolate, wine, coffees, and meal ideas along with green clothing, gifts, and much more!
This event is a benefit for Oregon Home Energy Assistance Team (HEAT), a local nonprofit dedicated to providing low-income Oregonians with the resources to meet their energy needs, reduce usage and move toward self-reliance. Heating costs are estimated to soar this winter, leaving hundreds of thousands of Oregonians wondering whether they can afford to stay warm when the cold weather hits. Join us at Give Green! to support sustainable business and raise money for Oregonians in need. Doors open at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, 11:00 a.m. on Sunday and there is a $3 suggested donation, with all proceeds to benefit Oregon HEAT.
MidAmerican Town Hall in Portland
The Portland Town Hall on MidAmerican’s proposal to purchase PacifiCorp happens this coming Tuesday night, October 25th at 6:30 p.m. The Town Hall is being held at University of Portland’s Chiles Center in the Hall of Fame Room (5000 N. Willamette Blvd). Go on down and express your thoughts about this proposed merger. In case you missed our analysis, or would like a refresher, here is a link to CUB’s most recent article on the MidAmerican case.
