Oregon Beyond Coal Campaign
Oregon's has a Dirty Little Secret: 41% of our energy is powered by coal, and it doesn't come cheap. It's destroying the land and communities of 
our neighboring states while polluting our air and water here in Oregon. However, citizens across the region are ready to make a coal free northwest possible.
The Sierra Club's new Beyond Coal Campaign in Oregon is your opportunity to get active in the movement to make the Northwest a leader in building a clean energy future for our nation. It's the power of grassroots engagement and people like you that will move us into a clean energy future!
Join us to learn about the impacts of coal use, and find out how you can speak up for a Coal-Free Northwest and make a difference!

COAL COUNTRY is a dramatic look at modern coal mining. We get to know working miners along with activists who are battling coal companies in Appalachia. Families have lived in the region for generations, and most have ancestors who worked in the mines. Everyone shares a deep love for the land, but MTR (Mountain Top Removal mining which has leveled over 500 Appalachian Mountains) is tearing them apart. We explore meanings behind promises of "cheap energy".
Join the Oregon Sierra Club for this free event and learn more about how coal impactsOregon, and what we are doing in our backyard to break our coal habit and end these destructive mining practices.
