(Re: “Chilling out this season,” Nov. 23) Is it just me or are other Santa Monica residents thinking that City Hall has missed a big opportunity? Downtown’s temporary, outdoor skating rink should have been marketed as Southern California’s only sustainable skating rink. The totally green energy consumed in keeping a shallow pond frozen in 70-degree sunshine, the gray water used, the no-drip/no-runoff LEEDS award design are all bona fide selling points... No?
