With the threat of rolling blackouts, it
amazes me that some of our local businesses, including
pharmacies, grocery stores, malls but especially Greater
Sudbury Transit are still operating their air conditioners at
what appears to be at full capacity.
As I walk through the Sudbury Transit
Terminal at 159 Cedar St. on a daily basis, the frigid air hits
me instantly. It feels like I've walked into a freezer.
Even though I agree that staff and patrons
deserve to be comfortable, they shouldn't have to feel like
they have to wear scarves and mitts in the middle of
July.
Even though it is everybody's responsibility
to conserve energy, especially during this heat wave, I believe
that in order for others to do so, our municipal government
should stop wasting energy and lead by example.
