Hi! I have written a letter to the mayor of Calgary. Here is the copy.

Hello!

My name is Guillaume Coziol-Lesperance, and I am a french Canadian from Quebec, resident of Calgary since 2007.

The reason of this letter is that we have noticed, as a group of residents, that only plastic bottles and bags were allowed in the recycling bins around the city. We know it is possible to recycle more plastic products, for it is already done in other provinces. Please consider that it would be very good for our children to be raised in a green city; as green as it can be, including the recycling of every possibly recyclable plastic. Thank you!

Also, I would like the City of Calgary to consider the problem of the distance. I personaly have to drive 10 minutes to go to the nearest recycling bin. Certainly it is a bit contradictory to burn fuel in order to preserve the environment. As my case is not the only one, most residents of Calgary have to do the same (some do not recycle "because" of this distance issue). Please understand that it would be much better to establish another system, more efficient, making recycling easier for residents and creating jobs, like they do in other provinces with trucks and residential green boxes, for example.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely

Guillaume Coziol-Lesperance
