It wouldn’t be Earth Day if we didn’t hear from the Conservation Council. The Saint John Chapter has issued a Earth Day Wish List dropping off copies to Mayor Ivan Court and Premier Shawn Graham. It’s a list of five and includes a ban on the use of cosmetic lawn pesticides, improved air quality, more work towards the development of wind, solar and tidal power.
They would also like to see the effort of developing an energy hub to export power from non renewable and polluting energy sources and no further sale or transfers of parkland for commercial, industrial or residential development.
