Join us for a “Bike to the Boilers” Bike Ride and Rally to the largest source of fossil fuel emissions in Eugene, the UO Campus Heating system. 🚴‍♂️🏭

💚We are advocating (with the support of local labor unions, UO students, staff and community members) against expanding Eugene’s reliance on fossil fuels.

🚨This rally calls on the UO Board of Trustees and EWEB Commissioners to cancel the Boiler Pilot Program and work toward meeting University, City and State climate goals of decarbonization. 🚨

➡️Bring your bike & your friends to CALL FOR JUST CLIMATE ACTION NOW!

⏰When: March 13, 12pm- 1:30pm
📍Where: Begins at the corner of 15th and Agate at the Hayward Tower, Ends at City Hall

💨NW Natural has fully given up on trying to greenwash their complicity in the climate crisis.

➡️This doubling down on dirty energy and extractive rate raises is a indictment of Eugene’s failure to regulate big polluters in line with our city and state climate policies.

‼️It’s high time Eugene residents see policy coming out of city hall that will address the dual crises of affordability and climate change.

02/03/2026

‼️The University of Oregon and EWEB have entered a closed door partnership to expand UO’s fossil fuel use by 65% despite UO already being the biggest climate polluter in Eugene.

This comes on the heels of the City of Eugene ringing the alarm that we are failing our emissions reduction goals!

📝Use this link or the link on our story to register to give comment at the EWEB Commissioners meeting tonight and demand and end to this pilot and that EWEB remain publicly accountable!

📢CALL TO ACTION

the largest climate polluter in Eugene has unilaterally implemented a program that raises campus emissions by 65%. This project flies in the face of their commitments to public accountability and rapid emmsions reductions.

Use the link in our bio or this post to email the board of trustees and sign an open letter demanding they end the pilot and electrify the boilers now!

UO should be helping to lead local climate progress, not holding us back.

Why we need to take climate action: In its 2022 report, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change declared that we must reduce our global greenhouse gas emissions by at least 50% by 2030 Governor Brown’s Executive Order 20-04 "calls for the state of Oregon to reduce its GHG emissions (1) at le...
