Home grown apples can save the planet.

A few weeks ago, the climate activist and inventor Dave Wilks told me he’d hit on a new way to describe the warming of our atmosphere: it’s equivalent to nearly five Hiroshima bombs exploding per second, he said, and the rate is rising exponentially. I’ve also spoken to experts who believe there’s another threat facing us, no less significant than global warming: the end of oil. Our lives depend on ever-increasing amounts of cheap energy, and synthetic petroleum byproducts, and when oil production peaks we’re in trouble. Some believe that will happen as early as 2010.

Well that's alright then, we grow apples. Planet saved. In fact, we grow as many as 2 Tesco bags full a year, which is clearly too many, that'll make up to 10 apple crumbles and as nice as they are, nobody needs that many apple crumbles. So, we could use the excess to save Mars as well.

cor, more save the whale/save the planet/eek teh oil is running out/eek teh coal is running out/oh noes we're all doomed bullmud.

A man of your advanced years should have no reason to fear the future.
