Community. At TORRAIN, this word holds a powerful message. When I moved to Portland from San Diego, I barely knew anyone but I was immediately welcomed into this city with open arms.

And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair ~ Kahlil Gibran

The difficulty lies not so much in developing new ideas as in escaping from old ones ~ John Maynard Keynes

In this day and age our world is rapidly changing right before our eyes. Climate change is one of the most discussed topics of our time. The debate about whether or not climate change is man-made or not seems beside the point. We are all humans living on this beautiful planet and we feel it’s important that we all take steps in our individual lives to sustain the resources we have here. We encourage you to challenge yourself in your everyday life to be more mindful of your carbon footprint.
