We are a group of people dedicated to creating a place where lives are simplified, the Earth is respected, children play together in safety, and living in community with neighbors comes naturally. We intend to retrofit a suburban apartment complex to become Oregon Ecobuilding Cohousing within a sustainable, ecological, green philosophy. (Details)  (Appeal letter)

PURPOSE: To promote Toxic-Free Living in Healthy Buildings.

BUSINESS: To promote a peer support educational network, resource referral, library, safe haven of model healthy buildings, training, clean transportation, presentation, and increased community awareness.

VALUES: Ecological principles: protecting children's health, encouraging understanding and validation of the concept of toxic chemical overload of the immune system, and working to create sustainable healthier lifestyles.

In accomplishing its mission, OEBN trains and builds upon the expertise of its supporters to promote networking in local communities. OEBN is committed to sharing new research and choices for solutions at meetings and classes. Meetings usually feature talks by experienced medical professionals, personal success stories of chemically injured, speakers from local environmentally-related and educational groups as well as healthy home building and ventilation contractors. Gatherings of OEBN supporters also utilize OEBN Principles for personal growth, empowerment and validation for coping skills.

The focus of Oregon Ecobuilding Network is a commitment to make a positive difference with public advocacy directed at chemically injured patients, medical professionals, environmentally related organizations, school systems, media, and regulatory agencies.
