Those plastic produce bags that I already have -- I do as my grandma did -- I wash them over and over and take them back to the store to reuse.  They usually work well even with a small hole.  LL Bean's shopping bags are the best because they stand up by themselves and the are durable, nice looking, natural fiber;  they even come on sale.  I inherited a box of plastic straws and I purposed some of them to a non-single-use -- I put them over my plastic bag dryer (it looks like an upside down octopus of wood dowels) so it would get mildew.

Living closer to work should be a priority for businesses and employees and government.

My idea on making urban housing more affordable in these high-priced cities is to extend the property tax 3% growth cap to a housing 3% cost growth cap and create a special pool of affordable housing for local Oregonians.  The property tax has saved Oregonians millions over these decades;  Oregonians should give something back to their progeny.

A (fully-refunded) carbon tax (to Individual Climate Accounts) would be very motivating to not using fossil fuels and would help us save the money to make the needed changes that we are clever enough to thing of.

I sure wish transit was more convenient for me -- that it came nearer to where I live.  I am glad a friend took me on my first trip to get me used to the idea.

My neighbor stopped to tell me how the fuel-efficiency of his EV saved him so much money.  That lead me to creating my own EV savings account;  I save money for my future EV every month.
