Well I am 17, yet i will be eligible to vote next year. I have been considering
what issues are important to me and have came up with a few of the following:
Consumerism, as shown by statistics we are getting better at recycling, yetit
seems our landfill waste is almost paralell to this. Athough the Waste
Minimisation Bill (solids) will hopefully be passed and come into effect by
then i wonder - how is our ever consuming society ever going to take a break
and realise our resources are finite? therefore i pose a question you could
find difficult - how does the CCC plan on combating this over-consumption
problem which plagues not only our city but our nation?
I have a strong point - why on earth does the City Council want a road through
the ONLY pedestrian mall, when estimates put forward by many well respected and
well researched geologists and geographers state that the power of our motor
vehicles will become extremely expensive and unaffordable as the supply begins
to wane?
In regards to my last point i would like to conclude with the question - what
is the CCC planning to do regarding improved public transport?
Kind Regards
