nd Kara and I spent our evening baking for a cause. We are part of a group called the Clean Train Student Coalition, and we are advocating for the proposed air-rail link from Union station to Pearson to be electrified.Metrolinx, a government contracted company, has already started construction on the line and plans to run up to 200 diesel trains through the corridor a day. Diesel poses many problems for both you and the environment. Not only is it hazardous to your health, it affects property prices and pollutes the environment.
The CTSC is a student movement linked to the Clean Train Coalition and are working to build student involvement in the push for electrification.

ReplyDeletearen't they? you lure them in with your treats and then while they are eating (important because then they can't argue) you tell them all about your cause!
