The Portland Chapter of the Links
has adopted Rosemary Anderson
High School for the 2010-2011
school year.
By seeking corporate sponsor­
ships, support from Links support­
ers and Links members, the chapter
plans to provide a backpack full of
school supplies for 1 (X) students at
the northeast Portland school.
Members of the organization and
other volunteers packed the back­
packs on Thursday at Schoolhouse
Supplies which is located on the
campus of Madison High School,
2735 N.E. 82nd Ave. The backpacks
will be distributed to Rosemary
Anderson students on Tuesday,
Aug. 31 at their “Back to School”
celebration.
about 30 percent o f work was
being done by disadvantaged
people.
“It’s a leading light for the
rest of the country,” said Hays
of the program . “Portland’s re­
ally out in front.”
He said there is no shortage
of older homes in need o f w eath­
erization, calling it “a problem
that w e'd be glad to have.”
In addition to weatherization,
Hays said that there are other
fairly sim ple things that can be
done to create green jobs. He
pointed to the Solarize N orth­
east project, w here residents
buy solar panels for their hom es
in bulk and split up the installa­
tion costs. He said that install­
ing biosw ales, w hich absorb
storm runoff water, are also a
good way to reduce costs asso­
ciated with treating w ater while
creating more jobs.
“This transition to a green
econom y is going to be a lot of
w ork,” he said.
