Comments on 'water footprints'

Dear All

I see it's 'Grant Time' - must be
nice, all I get from the government is the bill for all this - or more debt on
my Grandchildren !

Seems to me that some of you folks
might be interested in your latest 'Footprint' - which come to me from my
Libertarian Australia friend and author - Ron Kitching.........Cheers........Ken
Shock  http://brinnonprosperity.org

ps: the water resources Australia's
people are not allowed to touch are the tropical rivers of Northern Australia -
where most of the fresh water of this mostly desert country flow - these rivers
locked up as 'wilderness', UN 'Heritage' etc etc etc

I guarantee you that the Chinese
leaders who are building one Coal powered plant per week are laughing about
that, it will be soooo simple to just come down there
and take all that undeveloped land for cultivation - and they most certainly
will do that !!!  They just love the UN......Luuuuuv the UN, hey Agenda 21 is their baby and the dude
who wrote it, Maurice Strong, lives in Bejing these
days.

(you might
want to google this bird, although all you Earth Day
folks likely know it was his thing - or do you?) Oops, what's this?

quote from the report of the 1976 UN's Habitat I conference which
said: "Land …cannot be treated as an ordinary asset, controlled by
individuals and subject to the pressures and inefficiencies of the market.
Private land ownership is also a principle instrument of accumulation and
concentration of wealth, therefore, contributes to social injustice."

( color this red because it might
well have been lifted from the Communist manifesto - and this policy led to the
collapse of the USSR and 100 million deaths by actions of Cummunist
governments against their own people - so why do we need this centrally
controlled madness in Washington State?? - I say give the 'Grant' $$ back to
the taxpayers..........Ken )

The Letters Editor

The
Water Footprint Network.

Known as The Water Footprint
Network, a new “footprint” organisation
is becoming the “in vogue” interventionist organisation.

More than twenty conferences have
been held in the Western world since 2002 and more are planned over the Western
world this year.

Apparently we are to be introduced
to the “water footprint” we have personally and as a nation.

A book on the subject and dozens of
papers are available. Obviously the object of the exercise in not production
and storage of fresh water supplies, but control of the population’s use
of that water.

Here are some figures to make you feel guilty about your
water “footprint”

•

The production of one kilogram of
beef requires 16 thousand litres of water.

• To produce one cup of coffee
we need 140 litres of water.

• The water footprint of China
is about 700 cubic meter per year per capita. Only
about 7% of the Chinese water footprint falls outside China.

• Japan with a footprint of
1150 cubic meters per year per capita, has about 65% of its total water
footprint outside the borders of the country.

• The USA water footprint is
2500 cubic meter per year per capita.

Lying virtually idle four fifths of
Australia’s water and agricultural resources exist on and or north of the
Tropic of Capricorn. Green interventionists do not permit Australians to take
advantage of these vast resources.

WRIA 16 Mailing List

An agenda is attached for our next
meeting on Thursday, Aug. 20th, from 1:30-4:00 at the Hoodsport
Library.  The primary items on the agenda are to finalize which projects
will be funded in this year’s grant agreement with Ecology and to hear a
briefing on the draft Jefferson County Shoreline Master Program.

I have also attached a summary of
our last meeting.

I hope to see you on Thursday.
Please let me know if you have any questions!
