June 20th 7:00pmKaiser Permanente Town Hall Ballroom
In response to response to a series of articles from local papers, Overlook Neighborhood will be hosting the event, Would You like some Oxygen with Your Benzene?, as a continuation of our Race for the Cause educational series. We will explore what is leading to North Portland’s poor air quality and identify actions we can take to reduce our air contamination.
Some of the questions we plan to explore include: What areas do you believe are most affected by air pollution? Do you think it is possible for individuals to impact air quality in our community? How can air pollution impact your family’s health? Why is air quality an issue in North Portland?
This free event will be held at the Kaiser Permanente’s Town Hall ballroom, June 20th starting at 7:00pm going until 8:30pm (doors open at 6:30pm). Dr. Linda George, Professor at Portland State University, will lead a one hour presentation on what pollutants are adding a bit too much flavor to our oxygen. Following the event, we will have a neighborhood representative facilitate a 30 minute community discussion around what was presented.
Please email Jeff Berebitsky at jeff@sescogroup.com or call 503-236-8616 to reserve your seat today. Kaiser Permanente’s Town Hall is located at 3704 N. Interstate Ave.
There is no cost to attend the event.
