We are a group of volunteer Master Recyclers and environmentalists on the west side of the Portland Metro region. Master Recyclers are trained on recycling and ways to reduce our impact on the environment. We volunteer our time to share our knowledge with our community.
Our original name was Westside Master Recyclers, however we have transitioned to 501(c)(3) non-profit status in order to assist us in organizing our events. As part of that effort we officially changed our name to “Westside Planet Alliance”, also known as WPA. The reason for our new name is to recognize that although recycling is important, it is only a portion of our mission to inspire our community to live a more sustainable lifestyle on planet Earth.
We coordinate the twice-yearly PlanetCon event in Washington County, Oregon. We also promote sustainable living at farmers' markets and other events in our local community.
