Auction is a Message for a Cleaner Future<br />
by Jerome Cheung, Toronto Disannament Network<br />
Without a doubt the most eclectic event this <strong>May</strong> was the Third Annual Recycled Art Auction.<br />
Dozens of local Toronto artists donated their time and skill to create rideable works of art<br />
from used bicycles. Auction organizeer Heather McCrimmon calls the benefit<br />
"a celebration of bicycles, a reaffirmation of clean transport, and a message to the world<br />
that we need a future less addicted to fossil fuels. "<br />
The event, co-sponsored by the Toronto Re-cycled Art Society, Bikes Not Bombs(BBB) and<br />
the Toronto Disarmament Network (TDN), is rapidly becoming an established Toronto<br />
tradition drawing its support from a dedicated following of bicycle enthusiasts.<br />
The use of fossil fuels in cars, planes and other vehicles releases huge amounts of carbon<br />
dioxide every year contributing to Global Warming. 1DN co-organizer Ed Luciano S(IYS, "the/<br />
world's dependency on oil is threatening to change the very temperature of the world. The<br />
Gulf War was in, part fought over oil reserves. We need to promote the bike on · a local level<br />
if we're going to change things ai a global one. "<br />
The Art Auction which took place Thursday <strong>May</strong> 21, at the Great Hall (1087 Queen West),<br />
featured Jack Layton as auctioneer and live music with the Flying Bulgar Klezmer Band.<br />
