Four Wishes
I would like Hope and District to be a plastic bag free community. It shouldn't be too hard to do. Our 2 grocery stores have cloth bags that can be purchased. All they have to do now is not supply any plastic bags.
I would like Hope and District to ban the selling and use of pesticides and weed killers. It hurts me to see the birds eating bugs and worms from lawn sprayed with chemicals, not to mention the babies crawling on these green places, picking up objects to suck on. Oh and what's with the railway companies spraying herbicides along the tracks to the extent that the trees are dying.
I would like to be able to buy locally grown produce in the grocery stores in Hope. If this isn't an option and it appears that it isn't, I might have to go to Agassiz and buy directly from the farmers. But then my dilemma will be that I will have to burn fossil fuels to get there.
I would like to be able to park my bike in various places in Hope. I think the benefits of more people cycling to work and to the shops, far outweigh the costs of installing a few secure bike stands. The touring cyclists would appreciate it too.
That's all I want for now. Is that too much to ask?

all sounds quite doable to me... chunked down...
buying more cloth bags each time I forget mine at home has finally improved my memory and i've been passing on my surplus to friends... my next step is to bring back and reuse whatever veggie bags I need... hmm maybe I'll sew up some veggie bags for myself..
i wonder what would it cost to purchase or create and install just one more secure bike stand...
