Mike Mercer asked Cynthia Sharp:

Never been on a skytrain in Vancouver before have you?:}}}}}

Cynthia Sharp All the time! When I first moved here I was in awe at the view we get on public transit - particularly the skytrain bridge to Surrey and the water bus to North Vancouver. I bet you'd love it! There are parts of the skytrain that feel like a tame roller coaster ride. In Marcie of the Stars, you may notice that she only uses green energy like the skytrain, electric buses and her spaceship, which runs on anti-gravitational, non-polluting energy. One of my goals with the series is to gently promote renewable energy. All of the Light Bearers on all the planets she visits use various forms of renewable energy that are studied in high school. In that way, the books help students with vocabulary and concepts from high school socials, in addition to normalizing responsible energy. You are a star of green energy Mike - I know you walk and take the bus almost everywhere!
