Graffiti Slogan Ideas: Thanks!
our readers respond to last issue's call for catch phrases

our thanks to all who responded
to last issue's From the Editor ("How

Virginia:

Would you want Mother Nature to
leave a mark on your house?
Paint your own walls, not ours.
Graffiti ruins the view.
Invisible paint allowed.
It's not nice to ruin Mother Nature.
Don't carve anything you don't want
carved on you.
Suggestion: Erect flat rocks or designate areas along the trail as community bulletin boards?

From Gina Kristjanson, Salem,
Virginia:
Project PURE:
Preserve: U R Everybody.
I think by inviting all to the preservation of our landscapes, this message
