Dear Seguin Gazette & KWED SeguinToday,
I’m getting pretty fed up with all the disposable plastic bags (or the people using them) I see go out of HEB … and I am sick of all these terrible mass shootings in our “wonderful” country. (And yes, they are both serious socio-ecological issues.)
I don’t do much to deal with & prevent either and have decided to at least take the following little action with your help. (And perhaps I can get some other folk and organizations to chip in eventually!??!)
- Felicia and/or Delilah, Let’s put a 1/2 page “ad” in this Wednesday’s Seguin Gazette. (See the message below)
- Then we’ll run the same one the last Sunday of each month for the rest of 2021, except that these will be 1/4 pagers.
- Darren and/or Mary Jane, I’m considering putting the same ad in SeguinToday for the rest of the issues this year, depending on what it’ll cost me.
Of course, I would welcome any suggestions for improvements in the message below. And Darren, if it would be appropriate to do some PSAs down these lines over KWED, I would certainly be eager to do so.
Thanks,
paul
(I’ll try to get some posters out down these lines, and I believe at least one business might allow me to do so. … And eventually I hope to get in and visit with the local HEB management, GBRA, Guadalupe County RTA, TLU Center for Servant Leadership, Seguin ISD, LULAC Council 682, some clubs, churches, Rep. John Kuempel, etc.)
