Please look also at the 97% of water on this planet that is saline and the possibilities of saltwater agriculture on desert lands using the 10,000 varieties of halophyte ( salt-loving) plants , and the DesertCorp proposal on the Planck Foundation in Amsterdam and the work of Dr. Mae-Wan Ho in UK ,Dr. Carl Hodges in Mexico , as reported in Ethical Markets Green Transition Scoreboard(r) “PLENTY OF WATER ” http://www.greentransitionscoreboard.com I am not against small local private businesses , with full community stakeholder access and I’m a big supporter of co-ops , and of course defending the global commons ( Whole Earth Review, 1995). Thanks for your work. Hazel
