On the eve of Earth Day, Oregon Governor Ted Kulongoski urged a crowd gathered at Pioneer Courthouse Square in downtown Portland to take a look at their daily routine and do something different to fight climate change.
And he intends to lead by example. “I’m leaving my car at home tomorrow and walking to work and I encourage others to do the same.”
Kulongoski spoke at an Earth Day rally organized by the Sierra Club. Also speaking at the event were Oregon Secretary of State Bill Bradbury and several environmental advocates.
