There's trouble at mill

The Australian: Garden guru digs in against pulp mill:

"'It (the mill) is going to use an enormous amount of clean, fresh, drinking water and pump it out to sea ... and a 100m chimneystack is going to blow smoke and fumes down the valley.'"

We all know Peter Cundall from Gardening Australia and the 'ABC' Gardening Australia LIVE' . The article is right, if Peter Cundall has concerns, they will have to be addressed. He is a very mild mannered, personable human being but there is no doubting he values plants, soil and nature above all else. He is one of our very knowledgeable environmentalists and he is one person we listen to when we have problems in the garden. He is very intense about his plants! His advice is down to earth, solid, straight forward and no nonsense so he will be expecting the same sorts of responses from whomever he asks about buiding a pulp mill in one of the most beautiful valleys in Tasmania. Why would you do that??
