Speak out at City Hall

Metro Van is deciding - JULY 14 -- Incinerators or Zero Waste?
Synopsis of issue. Metro Van (and corporate interests) have looking into solving our over-abundance of waste problems with large incinerators. Their argument is to generate energy from burning garbage. The City of Vancouver (CoV) has been fighting the proposal and with good reason.

There's a poll in the Maple Ridge Times, to vote on the question “Should the Pelton farm be pulled out of the ALR to make room for more development?” Please take a few seconds to vote at www.mrtimes.com Let's make it an overwhelming NO NO NO

Please let mayor Robertson and council know how you feel. E-mail mayor and council at mayorandcouncil@vancouver.ca or speak at the meeting on May 5.
