Bill Bradbury, one of Oregon’s most prominent and sustainable citizens, will be the featured speaker at the kickoff event for Lake Oswego’s Sustainability Action Month on Saturday night.

Bradbury will appear at the Lake Oswego High School Auditorium at 7 p.m. to present a program on climate change.

Jean Baumann, who served along with Bradbury in Al Gore’s 1,000-volunteer “army,” thinks the former Oregon secretary of state is just what SAM needs to get off to a strong start.

“Bill has really fine-tuned Al Gore’s slideshow to make it more real,” said Baumann, who is chair of the Lake Oswego Sustainability Advisory Board. “People will also have the opportunity to talk to Bill in the lobby later.”

In a press release, Gore praised Bradbury as “an example of the millions of Americans who have been energized by the call to action on the climate crisis.”

Baumann added, “We hope Bill Bradbury’s appearance will generate enthusiasm about sustainability for the month of May and beyond.”

Joining Bradbury on the program will be the students from River Grove Elementary School singing a song they wrote, “The Earth Deserves Better.”
