Celebrating Earth Day Shining a Light on Local Sustainability Heroes

KATU is celebrating Earth Day by collaborating with Pacific Office Automation to shine a light on local nonprofits committed to sustainability. The initiative will spotlight organizations that are actively creating cleaner air, greener spaces, and healthier communities. Throughout April, KATU will share impactful stories from these changemakers, showcasing innovative recycling programs, hands-on restoration projects, and educational efforts aimed at climate awareness. This campaign highlights the vital role of community involvement in fostering environmental protection and sustainability. By featuring these local heroes, KATU seeks to inspire others to join the movement toward a cleaner, greener Oregon.

The focus on grassroots efforts underscores the collective responsibility to care for the planet. This initiative not only honors the hard work of these nonprofits but also invites the public to engage with their missions. As Earth Day approaches, the stories shared will serve as a reminder of the positive impact individuals and organizations can have on the environment.
