Bolger on Water
In a letter to the Times, ex-PM Jim Bolger cites the role of water in global tensions. Warning against letting War on Terror overshadow basic human needs, Bolger advocates a government-led promotion of water conservation and efficiency: “Passive policies and deaf ears will contribute to the spread of poverty across developing nations, leading to violent uprisings in an already turbulent time.” See the NZEDGE hot profile on Terry Collins for a NZ scientist doing ground breaking work to improve the world’s water.
