Inside the Methane Monster

March 7, 2019/in Fossil Fuel Resistence /by Chris Palmer

I volunteered to become the most vile and justifiably loathed creature in modern times – the methane monster. The monster that adds to global warming by trapping heat 86 times more potently than carbon. Some call it a ‘bridge fuel’ but only because they stand to benefit financially. It’s everywhere. It’s what we call ‘natural gas’ and ‘fracked gas’. It comes from cow burps, and rotting vegetation. It even seeps up and sometimes explodes out of the melting permafrost. We need to stop it. So I volunteered to take the ridicule and become methane personified in a creatively fashioned large purposely ugly costume.

As the personification of methane I was able to get in touch with its power and potency. I growled and took in a stance like a Maori warrior whose native lands are being overtaken by sea level rise. I jumped in the air, skeleton hands raised high and shouted ‘BOOM’. I grasped at the innocent by standers and shouted, ‘I want to testify. I am death’. I went to entertain the supporters of the Pacific Connector Pipeline and Jordan Cove liquid fracked gas plant. I wanted dialog but one can’t reason with methane so I shouted ‘BOOM’ in hope they would see how deadly dangerous I can be to them.

Donate for Deliciousness

December 29, 2018/in Announcements /by Ashley Weatherspoon

In support of 350PDX, local businesses Spielman Bagels and Umi Organic are graciously offering incentives for donors who give through the Give!Guide by December 31st!

Everyone who donates to 350PDX through the Give!Guide, will receive a 5oz bag of Spielman Bagel Chips.

After 18 years roasting coffee, Rick Spielman went into business with his son Raf, developing a unique “Portland-style” bagel. A sourdough start gives these kettle-boiled bagels a tartness that is balanced with milk and honey and a perfectly textured center. Their bagel chips are made from the same sourdough bagels that made Spielman a local favorite, lightly seasoned with Portland’s own Jacobson salt. And while the bagels have taken off, the Spielman’s have remain true to their roots and continue to roast a great cup of coffee.

Spielman has been a dominant force in Portland’s ever-expanding bagel scene, earning accolades from Portland Monthly, Eater, and The Willamette Week. Starting in 2011 from a single shop on SE Division, Spielman has expanded to three locations, each serving shade-grown coffee and a variety of schmears and sandwiches. Their bagels and chips are also available in coffee shops and restaurants throughout the city.

As a special incentive for donors under 35, Umi Organic will provide a box of their delicious organic noodles. The first ten 35 and under donors will also receive a packet of Umi Organic Sauce.

Umi began when Lola Millholland was working as a journalist and took a week-long noodle making workshop with ramen companies from around the world. She followed her passion for Japanese culture and food advocacy, delivering Portland a top-notch, springy noodle that is organically grown and ethically produced.

The team at Umi isn’t just making noodles, they are building a food production system with a deep respect for both the environment and the people who work to transform wheat and barley into the food on your plate. Along with Lola, Umi is spearheaded by Ayla Ercin, a former wall street lawyer who is committed to creating healthy workplace cultures and Theresa Marquez, a 40-year veteran of the natural foods industry.

Umi noodles are high-quality restaurant-quality refrigerator noodles that cook up in 2 minutes, serving as a quick and easy base for any meal. Their noodles are created with only six ingredients, organic wheat, organic barley, water, sea salt, organic wheat gluten, and kansu – a combination of mineral salts that gives ramen noodles their springy texture.

Support 350PDX in the Give!Guide today to receive these incentives, plus chances to win more!
