Water - CBS News

Devastating. It seems to me that we need to start a massive global effort to develop ways to collect the rain that falls today and all the fresh water we can make from salt water. How about giant floating tanks in middle of the Mediterranean for example?

Des terrasses trop gourmandes, qu'en pensez-vous ? - Le Blog du Vieux-Nice

Good question. Will be interesting to see who comments. Why is it that only one commenter has enough guts to use what appears to be a real name?

He puts veggies at the center of his plates and serves selon la saison.
