Shula, I remember years ago you mentioned that you were a member of the Izaak Walton Society (?) a group in the USA dedicated to conservation? Next week (if it's not too hot!) I'm going to visit Izaak Walton's Cottage, a small museum once owned by the man himself. It's only a few miles from where I live but I've not been since I was a child.

Yes, we have a nation-wide Izaak Walton League.  My chapter was a group of wonderful ladies -- the only all-female chapter in Virginia and one of three in the country.  Sadly, political correctness dictated and we disbanded and joined a larger county chapter.  I have a copy of Mr. Walton's The Compleat Angler.

Mr. Pruitt can do whatever he wants with his carrots.  I should find out who Scott Pruitt is before I say anything.

Oh dear, sorry, I thought that you would have known who Trump had put in as your EPA minister. He doesn't believe in clean water, clean fuels to improve your air quality or protecting probably the best salmon runs in America. Any steps forward made by Obama have now been reversed by him for Trump. He before was a lobbyist for the big oil companies and did nothing but screw you all up and line his own pockets at the same time. There was so much heat on him from both sides of the aisle that he was forced to step down but not before all the damage was done.
What he was doing was on the front burner of every conservationist group in America so can't understand why you don't know him by name.

Mr. Pruitt can do whatever he wants with his carrots. Those carrots belong to you and every other American.

I had a giggle at recent events over here and the subsequent revelations. We were running out of carbon dioxide, which is extensively used by the drinks and food industry. Suddenly we discovered that we willingly produce thousands of tons of the stuff, all around the world, for the shallow fact of keeping our coke fizzy. Now, all you mother earth lovers know that supermarkets and the drinks industry are killing the planet., so stay out of them and never drink a fizzy drink ever again.
