  1. Scandinavia has had tremendous success in energy conservation;
    • Green energy drives the mindset.
    • Very impressive is distinct heating grids (Note: Needs explanation) using energy from waste generated by industry
  2. Also, in planning a nd policy around transportation:
    • Stockholm has toll - based access to the city (which Portland might consider)
  3. Scandinavia offers models for renewable energy, cycling infrastructure, mass transit, and in Stockholm
  4. The trip started Copenhagen, then went to Malmo Sweden, then Stockholm, then Helsinki. (The trip did not look at energy conservation in Norway, because that country is dependent on fossil fuels)
