Event Date State
World Water Day Celebration & Walk for Water
Simulating a typical water-gathering experience for women and children in sub-Saharan Africa, walkers will haul water throughout their 3.1 mile route. The Walk for Water Event continues post-walk in the Plaza where booths showcase community organizations involved with water and re-lated environmental issues, here and abroad. Viewings of the documentary, “FLOW,” will be presented and local musicians will play for the crowd. 		03/21/2010 - 11:00am - 03/22/2010 - 9:00pm Oregon (OR)
Preparing Community Systems for Climate Change in the Lower Willamette Subbasin
Even if worldwide emissions of carbon dioxide are rapidly reduced, temperatures will likely rise by an average of 1° F per decade in Oregon for the next 50 years. Each degree is likely to reduce the region’s snowpack by about 20%, alter vegetation and insect patterns, and increase the size and frequency of wildfires. A concentrated effort is urgently needed to support communities, individuals, natural resource managers, businesses, and all levels of government to develop the methods and tools needed to prepare for the consequences of changing climate conditions. 		04/06/2010 (All day) - 04/09/2010 (All day) Oregon (OR)
