Grosse Pointe North should not raise money to to install a Windspire because we are all still trying to raise money for the Drama and Sports programs. It costs lots of money and takes alot of time and help from other people to get this set up.

Some neighbors might react in a negative way. They may complain that it's getting in the way or that it is too much money and it annoys them. Other neighbors might actually like it and think it is a good idea.

Windspires would help with the needs of our house because we use lots of electricity and with the windspire it will lower the bill a little and be better for the environment.
