Kudos

I was pleased to find out yesterday that both Purdy's and the Body Shop now have biodegradable plastic bags to put purchases in. While the ideal situation would be to eliminate plastics altogether, I would say that this is the next best solution. Kudos to both of these shops for working towards a better environment!!!!

Conundrum

I find it very interesting that Kamloops City Council has decided to ban backyard burning. I understand the reasoning behind this. What I don't understand is given their reasons, how can they let Weyerhauser continue with all its emissions? Scarier than the emissions we see, smell and breath are the emissions that we don't see, smell or breath.

Appalled

I was at Save On Foods recently on a Sunday evening and was quite disgusted. This store that collects and gives money for recyclable containers throws away their own flyers. They through away in the garbage their newspaper advertisements. So what if you can't get money for it, it is garbage? This is just sheer laziness not to mentioned just appalling in this day and age.

Old Magazines

Someone asked about where to take old magazines...so here are a couple of ideas other than putting them in mixed paper recycling bin at the City.

Take them to the hospital for the patients who are bed-ridden.
Take them to your local gym...I know that those sitting on the bikes like to read them.

Hope this helps.

Long Time No Write

I'm back and hope that here in 2008 I will be more diligent about writing. Hope everyone keeps reading.
