Little M over at Gustoso recently wrote to the PM about starting a vegie patch, and wasn’t terribly impressed with his reply that Canberra’s water restrictions were what was stopping him from doing it.
So when she wrote in, she included facts about how you can garden using very little water, and how Rudd could include a water-tank and a grey-water system. Since the government is keen on everyone having those, I don’t see why he shouldn’t give them a whirl too!
Little M is challenging herself and her family to become self-sufficient for food, by growing all of their own fruits and vegetables. If she can do it, facing the same water restrictions all Aussies have right now, I don’t see why Kev can’t get just 10% of his family’s needs from a little garden of his own.
You can see Little M’s letter on our Take Action page, or check out her gardening skills over at her blog Gustoso.
Thanks for the plug!
Thanks littlem and JulieG. I have sent off my second letter to our PM. I modified it a little to refer to my first letter I sent him. I hope he doesn’t come back with another lame excuse this time. Great water facts to littlem!
Warm regards,
Gav
P.S. the link to send the PM a letter is broken. The site has changed. Not being too flash with wordpress, could you please fix it up julie?
I want to see a veggie plot at The Lodge!
Come on Mr Rudd. Australia shouldn’t be left behind in this simple step towards sustainability!
