Diane Zipper of the Renewable Northwest Project, will lead a discussion on renewable energy and sustainability in Oregon. Beyond general information on what it is and where it's in use, she'll show us what makes Oregon a leader in sustainability issues and discuss current legislative initiatives around renewable energy in the Pacific Northwest.
Diane Zipper is a native Oregonian, and has worked for the Renewable Northwest Project, non-profit organization advocating for the development of renewable energy resources in the Pacific Northwest, since 1998. Diane works on RNP's "Go Green"campaign, and serves on the Board of Earth Share of Oregon, which promotes environmental education and charitable giving through workplace giving campaigns.
Diane will also briefly touch on green power marketing (for those businesses that are buying green power, it's a nice way to connect with your customers) - there are over 65,000 Oregonians buying green power, and most of them are in the Portland area.
