If you walk down any street, you can see a lot of paper and garbage everywhere.  There are a lot of people that could really use the money and the work, This would get a lot of people away from EI. It really would be nice to see a cleaner Winnipeg, and a healthy workplace.

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.
