It’s not often being 20th on any list is brag-worthy, but EasyStreet was blown away to be ranked number 20 on Oregon Business magazine’s 2009 list of 100 Best Green Companies to Work for in Oregon. The awards ceremony was held at the Gerding Theatre last night. For the 2009 survey, nearly 30,000 Oregon workers rated satisfaction and importance in five statements related to sustainable practices.
Because the awards are based on employee input, Oregon Business Publisher Andrew Insinga said these awards are all about “what these companies are doing to be green when nobody’s looking.” Even Governor Kulongoski stopped by to offer his congratulations. And we were delightfully serenaded by the Portland Cello Project.

Performance artist Drew Slum delivers his rapid-fire rap-poem, “Ode to the 100 Best,” in which he cleverly incorporates the names of all 100 companies on the list. I hope he publishes it somewhere for everyone to read — it’s amazing! (Thanks to Susan Hayden for the photo!)
