Sustainability Team

The FAN Sustainability Team builds relationships in our community so we can live more lightly on the earth and meet our needs closer to home. "Sustainability" means whatever creates and maintains the conditions under which humans and nature can exist in productive harmony.

Below are some examples of greener living, and of respecting and living in harmony with our place.

Friendly Neighborhood


​​Friendly Park Care Days — A neighborhood effort, in cooperation with the City of Eugene, to maintain and care for Friendly Park without the use of pesticides.​​

Rebates and tax credits for energy conservation and air quality

  • Water and energy conservation programs - The Eugene Water and Electric Board has numerous programs that offer rebates and zero-percent loans, as well as information for tax credits and manufacturer promotions. These programs can help reduce water consumption, replace aging windows and insulation, and replace inefficient or pollution-generating heating systems.

Eugene and beyond

  • Friends of Trees Eugene — A community based non-profit organization that holds tree planting parties in the fall and winter to bring people together to care for urban trees and natural areas.
  • Sustainable Eugene — City of Eugene Office of Sustainability.
  • Beyond Toxics — Leadership for a clean and just Oregon.
  • PurpleAir – Air quality monitoring in real time. Devices can be purchased, installed, and feed live data to a public map.
