the need for highway improvements?
* buy products made w ith post-consumer
•
How can bicyclists, pedestri

When does traffic congestion
become unbearable?
•
How are jobs affected by trans­

mostlv takes looking at things from a different
perspective Watch what children do w ith paper!
Recycling paper in Cannon Beach w ill now be
easy Just set aside a spot in your office or home and
start collecting. You w ill probably be surprised at
how quickly it accumulates. Now that you have done
a ll this stop and rethink i f there are any other wavs
vou can help reduce the paper stream in your life
The fact that you have m odified your behaviors w ill
reflect a new respect for our environment. Have
