This began in late 2007 when wheat-exporting countries, like Russia and Argentina, attempted to counter domestic food price rises by limiting or banning exports.

Photo: Kelly Rossiter When I was a kid potato salad was a fixture at every barbeque, picnic and family party. It was all pretty much the same stuff, lots of mayonnaise and green onions. Believe it or not, at a party of the extended family, there might be three or four bowls of potato salad on offer.

Governor David Patterson issued a directive for state agencies to stop buying bottled water, certain departments have announced plans to forego it completely, and Mayor Bloomberg has implemented a variety of initiatives aimed at educating the public about the benefits of tap water and making more public drinking fountains available. An ad campaign in the city urging New Yorkers to drink from the tap cost $700,000. So why is the cit… Read the full story on TreeHugger
