Comment: This project in sustainable living is inspiring, but creating an urban culture to support it is another matter. The Eugene Sustainability Commission should have a program to encourage these transitions.  Why not offer tax breaks to people who move in this direction? As city policy, it's absurd to give tax breaks to large profit making corporations that tax city services, while letting little guys like Whitey go it alone. Neighborhood councils could help link-up these efforts. Cooperation could replace competition as neighborhoods develop shared resources. Let's envision a city that rewards pilot projects like these that reduce their household carbon costs.
