Great question. I feel like the real question for MY community, is what are some of the barriers that exist to women of color's equal participation and/or representation....

And really, I think this stems to a community of people who have a fairly homogeneous set of life experiences. Great people, but there is a certain lack of awareness as to just how different life can be for others.

Ok. So what I would really like is a hydrogen car. No strip-mining for the lithium used in hybrid car batteries (which can't be reused at this point, so tons of batteries going into landfills), it uses an infinite resource, AND it only emits water vapor! There are a couple re-charging stations in CA already. WHEN WILL THIS GET TO OREGON!!???

I am personally so torn. Is it better to get a hybrid car (lower emission, but all the down points listed above), or is it better to get a diesel car and use biofuel most of the time, and gas sometimes? I really want to know! 

Besides eliminating exhaust emissions and improving public health, I want a more fuel-efficient car because I do a lot of city-driving, and somehow I am always running out of gas at the worst time. If that could just happen less, that would be great!

A sustainable community looks like people eating from their own gardens and sharing and trading 
with neighbors.

Eating less meat makes me feel lighter and
healthier and its better for the earth.

I can vote.  I can use public transportation.  I can continue to pick up trash at our neighborhood
Bus stop to make it clean and more appealing.
