We have to start somewhere
Mayor Sam Katz proclaimed Friday June 20 “Bike To Work Day”. He would like more Winnipeggers to go green and leave their cars at home. With the price of gas steadily rising I think it’s a great idea.�
” Bike To Work Day” may inspire a lot of people to cycle more often and create less pollution. It might even start in other cities and maybe even other countries.
Lately I notice a lot of these kinds of green ideas. Like with the re-usable bags you can buy now for a dollar. A couple of months ago I also heard of a day where people turned their lights off for an hour around the world.
These are great ideas; we might start small but we have to start somewhere. Roseann M.

Dear Roseann,
My daughters have always tried to stop me from doing things they knew were harmful to the environment – like stop using weed killer and either just pull weeds or let them grow. They spend their own money to buy the more expensive phosphate-free detergents, shampoos, etc. in refillable containers even though they don’t have very much spending money. I fear my generation is going to go down in history as the one that caused the most damage to our environment.
