Issue Position: Environment

Issue Position

The impacts of climate change is the number one environmental issue facing Oregon and our world. While our contribution to factors leading to degradation of our environment are small in comparison to other states and/or countries around the world, Oregon must aggressively pursue strategies to mitigate and reduce our impact. That includes reducing our reliance on fossil fuels, continuing conservation efforts to reduce long-term need for increasing new power generation and providing more opportunities for citizens to move around without increasing vehicle miles traveled. We have some strategies underway but much more is needed.
