We\u2019re big fans of moving to less oil-reliant forms of transportation; this year, we moved to using a Prius<\/a> or scooters<\/a> to get around. As all good Portlanders do, we also spend time roaming the streets on our bikes. The Bicycle Transportation Alliance<\/a> is working hard to promote bicycling and to create safe conditions on the road for cyclists,\u00a0 not to mention providing a surprising array of resources<\/a> for cyclers.<\/p>\n Salmon Safe<\/a> is a local organization working to keep watersheds clean enough for native salmon to spawn and thrive.<\/p>\n Green Empowerment<\/a> is located right here in Portland and working on renewable energy for those without throughout the world. We were particularly impressed with Green Empowerment\u2019s dual mission of working within communities for long-term sustainability while also focusing on education right here in the United Stated to promote an understanding of the importance of environmentalism, social justice, and sustainability worldwide.<\/p>\n We also spread a bit of additional love to folks near to our hearts \u2013 OPB<\/a>. We cannot imagine our days without Rick Steves, Nova, All Things Considered, Think Out Loud, Frontline, and so on.<\/p>\nSalmon Safe<\/h3>\n
