SUN DAY Sept 21, on the eve of the fall Equinox, was the brainchild of Bill McKibbns, founder of 350.org for young people and Third Act for those over 60.
Here in Eugene, members of 350 and 3rd Act organized a celebration and teaching venue with booths outside the Campbell Senior Center and tables & chairs inside.
ENVIRONMENTAL RIGHTS AMENDMENT A Livable Planet
Oregon needs to pass an Environmental Rights Amendment to preserve a livable planet for our children. OCERA is the Oregon Coalition for an Environmental Rights amendment. It is a voluntary committee working to qualify this initiative for the 2028 ballot.
FEDERAL TAX CREDITS Electrification Code
To benefit from federal tax credits by 7/4/26, we need to take steps now to get new construction or complex canopy projects underway and secure commercial solar projects.
By working with neighbors we can pass legislation changing Oregon’s electrification code to allow Balcony / Plug-In Solar arrays. If Utah did it, so can we! When enough states change their code, they can pressure for a national change that will allow lower income persons to reduce their electricity costs.
TRANSPORTATION FEES 2027 / Legislation
Recent state legislation imposes higher fees and road-use taxes on electric vehicles when it is the gas guzzlers that ruin the roads and pollute our air. This is not set to go into effect until 2027. We need to get busy NOW to get this gift to the oil and gas industry reversed.
