Wrap: City Code

Dear City Council members,  


     The fact that we take so much for granite is an injustice on its own, but when high school students try to bring about change for the better and are shot down what does that say about our fair city? Over the years our environment and the resources we've grown accustomed to using have become growing concerns. As of today there is no installed wind power in Virginia. More than half of the states so far have had wind power installed leaving us behind in the evolution of technology. Our state has no wind energy manufacturing facility. Solar energy is more prominent. We have certain businesses that deal with solar energy, and it's installation. The state of Virginia is a fairly good state for solar energy. The Wind for Schools program can take Virginia to the next step. The program gives schools a chance to work with wind energy to advance our country.  To better ourselves as a country we must first stop and take the time to let our youth shine through. Let us not discriminate against age, but take the next step to a brighter future!
