Rotary Club of Portland Old Hippies

Tonight I have a class where I will do a complicated bus/MAX ride to get there.  I'm so into this public transportation thing!  I love taking advantage of living in a city with this kind of resource.

We all need to be more respectful of our water and not act like it's a never-ending resource.  We waste an incredible amount of water every day as individuals, and even more as industry.  Turn off the drinking fountains downtown!!  Or at least put handles on them so we can turn them on for a drink but not run them constantly.  Our state is in a...
