Species: PPPM

Researchers from the Willamette Valley Species Identification program say they have confirmed PPPM sightings in Oregon.

Description: PPPMers range in size and color, however they have all evolved to functionally dress for biking in the rain. Public sector-seeking individuals. Only distinguishable in large groups of other humans by behavior.

Behavior: The PPPMer usually travels in numbers, most likely on bicycles. Tendencies toward social justice and city offices. Preference for visual communication, such as maps or charts.  Home life includes many hours in front of a computer, with occasional social activities.

Habitat: Small, dark, flourescently lit spaces. Particularly a specific bunker beneath a University of Oregon campus building. Thursdays can be found Rennies, especially during happy hour.

Range: PPPMers tend to congregate in the Willamette Valley, dwelling within biking distance of Hendricks Hall, University of Oregon.

Diet: Subsists on pb&j, apples, coffee, vegetables grown in community gardens, or anything bought in bulk.

Friendly, and willingly enticed by refreshments to meetings, these undomesticated creatures are easily approachable. They will often attend speakers about renewable energy and zoning for change; the PPPM will often ask questions.

Citizens need to be aware of the presence of the PPPMer may consider precautions:

• Supervise impacts of population and consumption of natural resources
• Refrain from VMTs, SOV’s, damaging wetlands, paving surfaces, or in any circumstance, throwing away plastics.

There will be an Open House at Hendricks Hall on December 1, 2010 to get the public involved with the HCP for the PPPM, which will answer any further questions.
