Your Share - April 2009

For 11 years starting in 1989, we were Environmental Federation of
Oregon.  For the last nine years, we have been Earth Share of Oregon.

Now we are EarthShare Oregon - with a snappy new logo and shorter name. Everything else you love about EarthShare, including our wonderful conservation groups, will stay the same. 

We're ready to start another 20 years of bringing Oregon's environmental nonprofits and Oregon workplaces together.
