The Zero-Mile Diet: A Year-Round Guide to Growing Organic Food
"Last year's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) assessment stated that up to two billion people world-wide will face water shortages, and up to 30 per-cent of plant and animal species would be put at risk of extinction, if the average rise in temperature stabilises between 1.5 and 2.5 degrees. Ladies and Gentlemen, millions of people throughout the world are deeply concerned about what is happening to our planet, but they feel utterly powerless. So they look to national governments, the European Union and international agencies to act on their behalf, but too often they see nothing but argument, disagreement and prevarication. The point is that the solutions do not lie with just the private sector or just the public sector. Climate change presents such a threat that, uniquely in history, it will surely require the effort of every nation and every person to find and implement a solution before it is too late." --HRH The Prince of Wales, 14th February 2008
