I was just checking my email when I noticed a google alert about Leaf Rapids. It was an article in the Globe & Mail about the shopping bag ban Leaf Rapids Town Council is about to approve. There is a quote from the Town Administrator, Bond Ryan.
Mr Ryan tells the Globe, "The big issue is not to be the first. It's to take a stand.” So I'm reading this and thinking, wow, this guy deserves a compliment, an acknowledgement of his environmental efforts.

So, congratulations Mr Ryan, Mayor & Council on an important environmental initiative. I couldn't agree more, it is time to take a stand.

Well done! I thank you & Gaia thanks you...
