Jeremy Hays of the group Green for All reaches out to Cully neighbors on an initiative to make the northeast neighborhood more energy efficient and create new green jobs.
The Cully neighborhood in northeast Portland will be getting a little bit more energy efficient thanks to the work of social and environmental activists.
The “Changing the Climate in Cully” initiative, sponsored by the Metropolitan Alliance for the Common Good- a network of 17 labor, faith, and community organizations- seeks to connect residents of the area with a program that will lower their energy bills while creating decent jobs.
