My Hometown



So-called "vandalism activism" been popping up all over Corvallis all through 2016. "Not Your Mom, Not Your Milk" is a popular vegan slogan which urges others to eliminate their dairy intake through ethical concerns. Other slogans seen have been "My Body, My Choice" accompanied with a pink Venus symbol to protest infringements on women's reproductive rights, and "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" accompanied with a recycling symbol to encourage others to look out for their planet more. It's not clear who's been tagging the town, but they appear to cover a lot of ground. 

Heather is a former LBCC and current OSU student working at the Farmers' Market, in Dennison's Farms' booth. The Corvallis Farmers' Market is set to wrap up later in November but until then, Heather is out every week helping the community buy and eat local and organic produce. Heather helps grow the crops, as well as harvest and sell them. She encourages everyone to go and seek out local produce to help the economy and the environment. 

The Benton County Public Library is an iconic landmark in Corvallis, OR. It's doors are open to the community seven days a week, giving the people access to the information, events, and quiet sanctuary available inside.
