The growing, production, transport and waste of food is the second highest carbon polluting activity after coal fired power stations in Australia.

Yes, my house is sustainable as it gets its energy from the sun and water from the rain on the roof.

But . . .  my tummy uses 30 to 40 times more energy and water than my house.

Each year, by using the rain that falls with clean, natural energy from clouds, the house saves over 100,000 litres of dam water and stops tonnes of dirty energy being used to pump it.

But, eating the typical Australian diet over ten days there is over 100,000 litres of water needed to grow, transport, make my food.

So, if you’d like to know how to grow and buy and eat sustainably do come and talk food, energy and water with me in these two talks – I’d love to hear your stories and discuss solutions with you.
