Planning & Transportation
It is nice to be in a town that has a mayor who is willing to speak to the
zeitgeist. Feeling it also, a couple of months ago I created these
designs ...
The
last one has been printed on t-shirts if anyone is interested in
partaking in some t-shirt activism ... now to show your support for our mayor's courage.
Changing our town's name by October 24
could turn an April Fools joke into a symbolic gesture to be heard
throughout the world in a time when action on climate change is dangerously
overdue. Can the joke go to symbol and then to action?
