21. I'm past the editing time but
34. require all new construction to have solar panels and/or other forms of alternative energy source and graywater reuse system (and geothermal furnaces where possible)
35. a paying job for every person, welfare for those who can't work
36. minimum wage that is a livable wage (and rises PER DOLLAR AMOUNT - not PERCENTAGE - as congress's own pay raises.)
37. extend free education through college

----------
I took the liberty of adding some extra thoughts there. It especially irks me when the minimum wage doesn't go up, but congress gets a raise, or when the rich get a 3% raise of a buncha money for a cost of living wage, and the poor get a 3% raise on almost nothing, and they call that fair. Government pay scales (GS-wages) are set up that way, so the gap between the poor and the rich is always increasing, as if food necessities only increase 10 dollars a month for poor people, but increase 40 dollars a month for the rich.
