EcNow Tech was fortunate to spend time with members of the Corvallis sustainability coalition and Brian Clem on August 22. Brian is planning on running for Governor of Oregon and we were able to explain what makes our company unique and our strategy for enabling future green tech jobs in Oregon.
Below is an excerpt from Brian on his reflections from his listening tour in Oregon:
”My listening tour is in full swing as I explore running for Governor of Oregon. This past weekend I visited the Willamette Valley, hearing ideas on how we can move Oregon forward from people in Salem, Corvallis, Eugene and several communities in-between. I also made a quick stop in Bend for a special event with the Oregon League of Conservation Voters.
In the past I’ve talked about how I am listening to the experts - everyday Oregonians who know how to get our state on the fast track to progress. I’ve talked about meeting with local leaders, business owners, and people who tell me their communities have innovative ideas on how to create jobs, provide education solutions for the next generation, and especially make Oregon greener and more livable.
In the Willamette Valley, I saw firsthand how Oregon’s green future, from jobs to protecting our natural splendor, is in our hands. And I heard that Oregonians want a Governor who will take the initiative to support our local businesses and who will fight tooth and nail to protect our environment while sustainably using our abundant natural resources.
In Corvallis, I met with local sustainability leaders to discuss the city and state’s future in our new economy. One company that stood out was EcNow Tech, which deals in green plastics, paper and wood products, and other housewares. This is the model of the future: finding green solutions for everyday household products that have traditionally come at an environmental cost. “
