I reckon Miss Eagle can say without fear of contradiction that Denise Gadd is hopping mad. Denise blogs at The Age where she is also the gardening editor. Now the blog is in a bit of a hiatus for the silly season. Denise burst into the Opinion Pages of The Age with this piece to-day. Almost a year ago to the day, Denise was having her say with this piece.
You will have noted, dear Reader, that Miss Eagle is promoting the petition, to which Denise refers, on her blogs. Go for it Denise, I say. Anyway can we send Tim Holding a ticket to a Permaculture design course for a New Year pressie? He clearly is not a gardener and has no sympathy for those who garden. I get mad when I think of all the water that it takes to make beer - and I don't drink a drop. I presume that Tim drinks his fair share - so how about giving me some leeway with my veges, Tim!

Water for beer but it's a drought in the garden

Apart from the 70% of water used in agriculture, another 7% is consumed by Industry and despite reduced usage over recent years quantities used in manufacture for individual items remain subtantial-
Water serves our nations folk
40litres to make one can of coke
It’s our lifeblood; in things so real
50 litres to make one kg of steel
Time to satisfy your sweet appetite
120 litres makes one kg sugars delight
Faithful newsprint records our daily fate
280litres makes one kg paperweight
Car tis freedom your travellers delight
300,000 litres to for fill delight
Best wishes
LOL Miss E - good point about the water used to make bloody beer.
Love the new page template! Liked the old one, but this one doesn't take as long to download, so I guess you've tidied it up some!
