Veggie: Diet
education
is important
■ Continued from Page 1
Resseguie said the most impor
tant thing about being a vegetari
an is educating yourself on what
you need to eat.
“It’s not a very big challenge as
long as your diet didn’t consist of
twinkies and white bread [before
becoming a vegetarian),”
Resseguie said.
Resseguie said he has noticed
most restaurants in town now
feature a vegetarian menu or col
umn, making it increasingly easy
to be a vegetarian in Eugene.
There are at least eight natural
food stores in the Eugene area, he
said.
The consensus? It’s easy being
green in Eugene.

PORTLAND — A “green
tax” movement to cut traffic
and pollution is slowly gaining
ground in Oregon as a way to
link dissatisfaction with taxes
and frustration with environ
mental regulation.
Some European countries,
notably Sweden, are moving in
this direction, but no Ameri
can state has yet embraced tax
es on pollution. Minnesota
lawmakers are debating a bill
that would impose a $1.3 bil
lion pollution tax to reduce
property taxes for schools.
In Oregon, Gov. John
Kitzhaber has opened the door
to discussion. A committee
that reviewed the state’s tax
system mentioned the possi
bility in its recent report.
“I think it’s definitely a
chance to air these issues more
than they have been and at a
higher level than before,” said
Jeff Allen, executive director of
the Oregon Environmental
Council.
The idea resulted from the
economics of taxation: when
ever something is taxed, there
tends to be less of it.
John Ledger, a lobbyist for
Associated Oregon Industries
who focuses on environmental
issues, said industry already
pays plenty of fees related to
pollution.
