We all rely on the Earth’s natural resources to live. Through our everyday actions, we can help protect and restore our planet.
Earth Day is a time to reflect on how we show up for our environment—and to find cleaner, more proactive ways to move through and live in Portland. After all, how we move shapes our planet.
This year the City of Portland hosted a transportation themed Earth Day event, Earth In Motion. The event was a true reflection of what's possible when the city and community move together. More than 45 exhibitors filled Park Rose Middle School with resources, energy, and excitement, demonstrating how much momentum Portland has built toward a cleaner, more sustainable future.
An “Electric Alley” showcased a remarkable lineup of electric vehicles, from EVs, electric heavy machinery, and e-bikes to e-scooters and more. Seeing the range of clean transportation options lined up together was a highlight of the afternoon, giving attendees a firsthand look at the future of mobility already available in Portland today.
“Earth Day is every day. The work of building a more sustainable, resilient, and equitable Portland doesn't pause after April, and neither does the community that's driving it” said Vivian Satterfield, the City of Portland’s Chief Sustainability Officer.
