The Mayor's effort to reduce greenhouse emissions and raise awareness of our individual environmental impact is a noble and necessary effort. The Parks Department using it as an excuse to close Alki Beach fires is nonsense.

How are we going to stay warm when we gather for the Christmas ships? Not to mention our annual family reunions and high school graduation celebrations?

This is silly and shame on the Parks Department for hijacking the Mayor's program for their own ends.
