THANKS to teenager Emma Joyce for supporting the proposal to build wind turbines at Escrick Park, and for reminding us the energy resources we now depend upon will run out during her lifetime (January 13).
Many parents drive their children to school and back, and selflessly give up their evenings to drive them to various clubs throughout the city. I fear these children will not thank them for it when they are older. We need to grab every chance, big and small, to leave them a planet worth living on.
I'm not arguing we ditch the car and stay at home. I'm arguing we ditch the car and demand our city council invests in safe cycle paths to schools, and supports more local clubs for children. If the plan to build the James Street Link Road is scrapped, this will leave £1 million for real investment in the city.
Tracy Shippey,
Danum Road, York.
