The public relations committee has extended Sustainability Month into October. We need 13 more letters to send to news publications. Please submit letters to publicrelations@idc-oregon.org.
These letters are important because legislators read letters to the editor. These do make a difference. Make your voice heard.
Need ideas? Here is an example:

Dear Editor,
In Oregon, green building is standard practice. As a commercial interior designer, it is my job to ensure my clients have healthy, non-toxic, and sustainable environments. I layout plans to maximize daylight, views and fresh air. I support local economies by specifying regional materials. I also specify materials that are high quality, natural, durable, and free of toxins.
I urge Senator XXXX and Representative XXXX to support licensing for commercial interior designers in Oregon because qualified interior designers are committed to and trained in sustainable, healthy, and energy-efficient practices that reduce waste and toxins. Licensing will define this responsibility within the commercial interior design field.
Oregonians deserve healthy and sustainable buildings.
Sincerely,
Your name
City, State, Zip
