Cyan

Randy White, founder of Bright Neighbor, hosted the event that drew in 100+ of its members from all over Portland. There was a series of speeches and presentations throughout the night by Linda K. Johnson (Guerilla-gardening educator), Bo Rinaldi (owner of Blossoming Lotus, the premiere vegan cafe of Portland), and Randy White of course! The whole idea behind the Bright Neighbor Revolution is to bring communities together and see them thrive by reaching out and using internet-based tools. Community members may list items or skills that fellow neighbors may borrow or need and vice versa. You can call it a barter system, trade, or simply going back to the basics. That’s just the beginning of Bright Neighbor! They help coordinate community gardening and local governments while always enriching people’s lives with the message of sustainability. Also, residents of CYAN/pdx will receive a membership to Bright Neighbor and an amazing opportunity to be connected with a progressive, sustainable community. Stay tuned for pictures from the event!
