Community

Overview

When we come together to establish a culture grounded in inclusive, sustainable practices we all prosper. To help build a sustainable community LOSN is focused on the following:

  • Striving to connect those who wish to work towards common goals, advocating for sustainability issues and working on projects with each other.
  • Facilitating lively presentations on various topics, providing inspiration and education for our members and those interested in sustainability issues.
  • Operating a partnership program that offers an opportunity for local organizations to increase the effectiveness of their sustainability efforts.

LOSN supports the community by:

  • Hosting events that allow sustainability advocates and partners to learn about and celebrate the successes in moving our community forward.
  • Publishing monthly Sustainability Insider newsletters.

      Community Green Teams

      Lake Oswego is home to a number of planned communities, including some with active Green Teams focused on how they can help local residents adopt sustainable practices, like installing solar panels and participating in recycling efforts.

      Several Life Plan communities in Lake Oswego have Green Teams that network with other regional Green Teams to share sustainability ideas and processes.
