Fruit Salad and Mixed Veg

Australia is a dry country right? We've got deserts, lots of red sand, lots of sunshine and not a lot of water. After reading this article, it's much dryer than I thought.

"Canadian water campaigner Maude Barlow says Sydney could be out of clean drinking water within three years."
Isn't that nice to know? Is the government doing anything though? They're telling us that there aren't enough young people in Australia, that we should have more children so they can support the way too many retired people in the future...well, without enough water in Australia's biggets city...

"...politicians have failed to articulate the seriousness of the threat"
Here in South Australia, politicians are more worried about Primary School Swimming Programs than water shortages! But wait, if there is a water shortage, it'll be a little tricky to fill up a pool! And when all those kiddies get puffed out from swimming (or half drowning) they'll need a nice refreshing drink of fresh, clean water! The government here is also more interested in placing "School Pride" signs in every public school! What use is a sign?? They don't even point to anything! Make a sign about the environment; saving water or the dangers of too much CO2!

"...Australian politicians must focus on grassroots solutions, starting with pollution control and water conservation"
I think EDUCATION needs to be included here! I went for a walk the other week to see some idiot hosing down her driveway! Well, I guess you can't say 'Ewww' to the people who don't wash their hands after visiting the bathroom, becasue they are saving water..

I was quite shocked to read this article! The wolrd is now such a complicated place...People can't live without their phones, IPods, cars and of course their money! Everything revolves around money! If something will cost too much money to fix, it won't get fixed! We've forgotten what we actually need to live! We need photosynthesis and respiration people! What do we need for them? Water, Oxygen and CO2(not too mcuh of that though) At the moment we don't have enough fresh water or clean air. Wow, I've actually applied something from Chrimstry into real life! *is shocked*

I remember that I once wrote a letter to John Howard about air pollution. Did he do anything? I doubt it-I read more about air pollution in the papers than I did 5 years ago. You can't say 'oh, the problem will fix itself...'

The story of Easter Island; one day there were many many trees and evreyone lived happliy and played duck duck goose all day. Then one day, there were only 10 tree left! Everyone was too busy playing duck duck goose that they didn't seem to care! 9 trees were chopped down my Mr B (the tree chopper) to make something not 'important'-wooden IPods or something... One day, many of the inhabitants of the island noticed that there was only one tree left. One poor little malnutrietened (yes, I can't spell it) tree....which eventually died after uneducated teenagerd payed him out. What happened next? The peeople had no more trees for making important things like houses and weapons so they died one by one, until only Mr B remained. With a tear in his eye, he looked around his island and whished that he chose a different career path...an environmentalist or a hippie. He also wished that he had written a letter to a politician that actually cared. However, it was too late.
