G'day Terry,

I'm up to my armpits here at the moment designing a
new wetlands for the township of Baxter on the Pen?
:-] but I wanted to email you and say I agree re: it's
getting very very late. Even more reason to throw the
cost factor out the window now? even with the baby
solar heated bathwater eh? :-] At what cost will the
clean up action come in at I wonder?

It is well past the time to think of power
alternatives.

The difficulties of using other sources in remote
islands such as the Galapagos Islands would mean a
huge outlay in finance.

NOT REALLY .....

Perhaps this could be partly recouped by placing a
levy on ALL visitors.

OR A LEGAL ACTION AGAINST THOSE THAT OIL POLLUTE THE
PLANET EH? to cover the fuel conversion factor for the
Galapagos Islands?

I can imagine the outcry from the naturalists out
there.

WHAT PRICE FOR A CLEANER WORLD FOR OUR CHILDREN??????
or for that matter the feathered children of this
planet.
