About Us
For a full explanation what the Oregon Toxics Alliance is all about, click here.
The OTA blog was formed to reach out to the Oregon community. The goal of our blog is to offer a way for Oregon residents to communicate via our forum, and to read about the latest OTA efforts through the eyes of our volunteers.
We also hope to get the community more involved with local issues by reaching out to a broader range of people including young adults, aspiring activists, environmentalists, etc. Through OTA staff and volunteer efforts, the Oregon Toxics Alliance is helping to create a safer and healthier environment for us all.
If you believe in our cause, please consider donating.
