The ‘Plant a Tree with the MMP’ campaign finds success for the second year. Thanks to all who participated, we were able to plant 525 trees across the United States and Canada. Read where we planted all 525 trees here.
We’re excited to be back for the second running of the ‘Plant a Tree with the MMP’ campaign in collaboration with One Tree Planted. The campaign was such a success last year that it has returned from November 29 – December 31, 2021, and is open to all municipalities, counties, and regional government agencies in the U.S. and Canada. Apply today and get us to 500 trees!
Metro is the regional government that serves 1.5 million people across three counties and 25 cities in the Portland, Oregon metropolitan area. It plans and oversees the region’s solid waste system and works with local communities and industry partners to implement waste reduction programs.
These programs have been very successful. Since 2004, the region’s total waste generated per person dropped 23 percent. This success reflects program, policy & cultural changes, as well as factors outside Metro’s influence such as overall economic conditions. The region also has decades of success in its residential, commercial, and construction sector recycling programs.
