    The interview was really fun. I had a very good time and I learned many new things. I hope that there is going to be more of this type of activities like students for myself.
    I hope that the green party will be able to get some seats in the house of commons the next time.
    I also want to hope that Vic Derman can continue to succeed as a city counciller for Saanich.
    I learned that it is better to transport on foot or bicycle. You could carpool if you are living farther away. Thankyou so much for coming to Arbutus I know that you are all very busy people I hope you enjoyed getting the interview as much as we enjoyed giving the interview

    Sarah Webb- two ideas that stood out

    -She told us that we had to work together to make our economy green.

    -To make things green, it is not about getting everything100%, it is about trying to do everything I can do.
