Daimler- Portland

What is odd, motorized two wheeled travel is not entering the equation when it comes to sustainability/low carbon foot print. Nobody is talking about scooters & motor bikes, we are talking 50 to 100mpg here. Interestingly, in the area of electric propulsion, the bicycle and motorbike-scooter begin to overlap ! 

Great Challenge! Some were easy (already doing) but some I was more motivated to take extra steps to complete.  Go Blazers!! 

Planted my first garden at home this year!  Trying to use home grown veggies to cut down trips to the store, eat healthy (and it's obviously adorable!)

2 sided printing should be required as default.  But even more important, who prints things these days? :)  

Talk about it!  At a friend dinner last week we discussed how easy it is to sign up for clean energy through your power company.  There was a lot of misconceptions about what this meant or how much it costs - by just chatting about it and explaining the simple steps, a few more friends signed up.  

To reduce water consumption, we frequently take small steps around the house: reusing towels, being smart about not continuously running water (like when brushing teeth or washing dishes, etc) and not watering the lawn, "smart" watering of our veggie garden at cooler times of day during the summer.  Small steps, but help our whole...

After all those years, it still feels good to commute on two wheels !

I now use two mugs at my desk, one for water and one for coffee.

I continue to keep the water off each time I brush my teeth rinsing thoroughly at the end!  I like the difference and will continue indefinitely.

I have always been a multi model transportation person, in Portland I have used bus, light rail, a bicycle, a motorcycle and my car. Not planning to change that.
