Kristin Eberhard describes two promising bills from the Oregon legislature which, if implemented, would simultaneously cut carbon pollution and pay a basic income to every Oregon citizen. A Trust Fund would be created to fund this basic income, as long as there exists a need to pay for pollution, which is expected to last at least until 2050.
