And I volunteered to run a stand for the schools Advent Market. If I was to take time out to actually think of all I have done to help people I’m sure I’d find more (not trying to make myself look good here‚ but it’s just one of the things my mother (God rest her soul) always taught us‚ she always helped other people too.

And people don’t want to spend money.Enforcement‚ even if people were fined for not recycling‚ how would it be enforced?

James Cantalupo‚ who takes over for Jack Greenberg on Jan. 1‚ better have an appetite for change. Greenberg’s tenure was cut short last week following several years of disappointing performance.
