A news item stating some of the obvious caught my eye.

The repot said that deforestation worldwide has been caused by population pressure.  True in part, people need firewood to cook in many regions also wood for building.

It’s easy to blame the world’s problems on lack of birth control.  In many areas there is need for a high birth rate because people die so young for a vaiety of reasons.

BUT, what about us?  We like our Teak garden furniture.  Too often wood from non-sustainable sources is used.  This means when the tree is felled, all the nutrients in the tree are removed from an ecosystem and the soil ‘dies’.

Brazil is a problem.  Rich land barons ravage the rainforest to turn it into grassland.  Why? to graze cattle on for a couple of years until the soil ‘dies’ in another place.  But never mind there’s plenty more rain forest and the natives are illiterate so what does it matter?!

So, what happens to the animals?  juicy steaks and corned beef for stomachs that don’t need it.

Question.  Can anyone tell me the make of corned beef that does not come from South America?   Or, have we got the the China syndrome?  It’s cheap and good value but I would buy British if anybody still made it here!

A product which is not made in Brazil or China is Powertune Energy Saver. Take a look and see how to save 25% off your electricity bill with zero effort!
