WE LIVE FOR MAGIC

We live for the lights, the music, the food, the learning, the inspiration, and the togetherness. We live for positive change and transformative experiences that blaze a path toward endless possibilities. The awesome potential of every event keeps us on our toes and, sometimes, knee-deep in caffeine. But the magic of pulling it all off? Totally worth it.

WE GET IT DONE

Last minute request? Done. Idea about how to do something better? Done. Guest who wants something we’ve never heard of—now, if possible? Done. And done. YES is the answer. Determination, creativity and teamwork are how we deliver on it.

Oregon Convention Center and Lloyd EcoDistrict to participate in Lights Out awareness raising effort

Sep. 13, 2017, press

From the Lloyd EcoDistrict website

Lights Out-Banner.jpg

Portland sits along the Pacific Flyway, a migratory path used by hundreds of thousands of birds every fall and spring. Lights Out programs help prevent birds navigating at night from getting attracted to urban areas, where they can get off course and injured. Join Lloyd EcoDistrict and the Portland Audubon Society as we go Lights Out in Lloyd this fall. You can make a positive impact on the night sky by reducing unnecessary lighting around your home and office. It’s easy, and it saves energy and money while saving birds!
 
Your participation helps make our region safer and healthier for wildlife and humans alike, as well as helping to raise awareness about the growing impact that light pollution has on the world around us. There are two ways you can participate in Lights Out Lloyd this year:

1) Join in a day of action on Friday, September 15th. Individuals and buildings throughout the city will be reducing or turning off exterior lighting the evening of the 15th in a one-day awareness raising effort.
2) Pledge to go Lights Out for the entire period of fall migration, which begins August 25th and runs through November 15th. Learn more about practicing here.
