Spring has sprung in Portland, and summer will soon be upon us. The CUB Policy Center had a successful fall and winter outreach season, but with some long awaited sunshine ahead of us, we can’t wait to venture outdoors! Our outreach table offers lots of ways to learn and get engaged with CUB; come visit us and play energy trivia, guess your energy mix, join our email list, and find out how to get involved in our campaigns for electric vehicle infrastructure and clean energy investment!
We were honored to kick off our spring outreach schedule by participating in the Earth Day Festival on Portland State University’s downtown Portland campus on Tuesday, April 22nd, followed closely by OHSU’s annual Sustainability Fair on Wednesday April 23rd. If you missed us at these events, don’t worry—this is just the beginning! We have a season full of fun and engaging neighborhood street fairs ahead.
