Meatless Mondays a nice gesture by the Clark County Commission

In response to Robert Pribila’s Sunday letter (“East California”) ridiculing the Meatless Monday resolution recently passed by the Clark County Commission, I commend our officials for caring enough about our community to encourage Meatless Mondays.

This resolution is not meant to dictate what people should eat. Rather it is simply urging people to eat plant-based just one day a week to heal our bodies and our planet. In fact, many of our popular restaurants on the Strip and across the valley have been introducing delicious plant-based options on their menus with great success.

Who among us wouldn’t want to live a healthy, vibrant life into our golden years and leave behind a planet for our next generation to inherit that isn’t ravaged by resource depletion and contaminated water? Many residents appreciate that Clark County is moving in the right direction toward being a healthy, environmentally-responsible community and we’re proud of our commissioners.

Frankly, if I had kids at Columbia who participated in these “protests,” I’d yank them out of school, toss their stuff onto the lawn and tell them to get a job, go live in the real world and pay your own way.

LETTER: Here’s the real threat to democracy

In the 2020 election, Mr. Biden ran on promises he has failed to keep. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

LETTER: No need for an SOS on Social Security

The functional reality is that members of Congress need to keep Social Security alive or they will be voted out of office.
