Just a quick tip this week to remind us all of how important water is in our daily lives.
According to Cool Australia most fresh water is used in farming and agriculture. Only 5% of all water is fresh water and more than 70% of this is frozen (mostly as ice in Antarctica). That leaves us with only 1% of all the water on our Earth to use to grow crops, raise animals, cool coal fired power plants, power industry and use at home, work and school.

If food waste were a country, it would be the world's third largest emitter of greenhouse gases, behind the U.S. and China.
I was astounded to hear this last week at the Q&A session with the Director of the film 2040. In Australia up to 40% of the waste in an average household bin is food (Foodwise). Rotting food emits methane, a gas that is twenty-five times more warming in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide.
