Green Festival Expo Portland 2015-12-11 - Portland Oregon Prepper Show

Our newest addition to the Green Festival lineup, Portland is literally one of the greenest cities in the nation. With more than 10,510 acres of parks, Portland is ranked by numerous sources as one of America’s Greenest Cities. Portlanders recycle 63 percent of their waste, the highest rate in the nation. Additionally, Portland has the nation’s highest and fastest-growing percentage of bicycle commuters. We look forward to bringing Green Festival to the Oregon Convention Center, the ?rst convention center in the nation to receive the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED-EB (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design for Existing Buildings) certi?cation. The Oregon Convention Center features a “Rain Garden” that collects storm water from the facility’s roof and ?lters it through an attractive system of rock terraces, pools and soil, helping to prevent environmental pollutants from reaching the adjacent Willamette River.
