LOGGING ROAD POLLUTION IN STATE FORESTS! Logging roads are major sources of pollution in Oregon's forests -- dirtying rivers and streams and harming fish with dangerous sediment. Recently, the federal courts ruled that logging road pollution must be regulated under the Clean Water Act, but some in Congress want to overturn this ruling. This case stemmed from logging road pollution in the Tillamook State Forest, where an extensive road network already pollutes rivers and streams, and where current plans call for roughly 100,000 acres of new clearcutting in coming years and new logging roads.

Moving Oregon beyond the use of coal as an energy source has been a key priority for the Sierra Club for years, and this new program is integral to the success of that campaign. We recognize that our own members and citizens across the state have a real opportunity to influence Oregon's future energy mix. So, the program we've developed guarantees you one of the lowest rooftop solar installation rates in Oregon, packaged in a form that is financially affordable for almost every homeowner.
