Officials in Cleveland want to raise rates by more than 80 percent for city residents over the next four years and by about 50 percent in the suburbs. Apparently Cleveland is counting on the demand for water being inelastic. The water department in one of Ohio's largest metropolitan areas is seeking to sharply increase rates to deal with a drop in consumption and revenue.

We already know that backyard gardens are great fun, that they can provide the freshest produce, and that gardening as a child has lasting effects —but what about their impact on the environment?

Surprisingly, as researcher David Cleveland, a professor of environmental studies at UC-Santa Barbara found out, that assumption would be wrong. What Cleveland and his research team discovered was that more than 99 percent of the produce grown in Santa Barbara County is exported, and more than 95 percent of the produce consumed in the county is imported, some of it from as far away as Chile, Argentina, and New Zealand and this is very much like that in Britain as well.
