Letters to the editor: I would like to suggest that the authorities and trend setters start to encourage people to carry a hanky, or even two, if you are prone…
Are you going to walk around all day with snot and other solid particles on your sleeves? What if you have to sneeze a number of times? How many sleeves do we have available? What if you are in short sleeves? Have these people who urge us to carry on this vile practice never heard of handkerchiefs and Kleenex?
I would like to suggest that the authorities and trendsetters start to encourage people to carry a hanky, or even two, if you are prone to sneezing. Let’s make sneezing into your sleeve a thing of the past, like spitting in a restaurant or bar. Let’s all carry hankies and Kleenex and keep both our noses and sleeves clean.
Gaby Wickstrom does not mention her concern about the climate crisis. Large old-growth trees sequester exponentially more carbon dioxide — a big player in global warming — than smaller trees. The earth and humus on the floors of old-growth forests also sequester a great deal of carbon, but release it after devastation by logging.
We need the vision and funding to train people for new jobs, not to continue logging large old-growth trees.While I share concerns that a ban on old-growth logging may damage small communities, this is overshadowed by concern for what will happen to them if we deplete our forests altogether.
