		<title>Beating the 155 target</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We recently received a flyer from our local water supply company, in which they stated that we* have used an average of 152 litres each a day this year &#8211; 10 litres less than we averaged at the same time last year.
Of course, 152 litres each during winter isn&#8217;t as hard as meeting 155 during summer, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Oil pollutes water</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Did you now that 1 litre of oil can pollute 1 million litres of water? That&#8217;s a lot of water from a little but of oil!
So part of saving water is keeping it clean but not polluting with oil. Some ways we can help&#8230;

don&#8217;t use oil if we really don&#8217;t have to &#8211; try non [...]]]></description>

		<title>Our Budget view&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re no financial experts, and frankly can&#8217;t judge how long the economy will be down or how much the Budget will shorten the recession by, but we have reviewed the Budget for it&#8217;s greenness and here&#8217;s what we found&#8230;
1.The Initiative comprises three new elements:

		<title>A water friendly zoo&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s school holidays so last week we had a trip to the zoo in Melbourne &#8211; just about the best zoo ever I think.
There&#8217;s a new water plant there &#8211; down near the back gate &#8211; and it&#8217;s quite big. It&#8217;s a big room and you can see into it through windows along one wall [...]]]></description>

		<title>Do you live in the desert?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Your immediate answer is likely to be no, but are you sure? About 70% of Australia is classed as desert or semi-desert.
And that may well increase for southern Australia if climate change continues to reduce our rainfall.
Our average annual rainfall is 472mm &#8211; and it&#8217;s a lot less than that in many places, especially as [...]]]></description>

		<title>Saving leaked water</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, a major water pipe in Northcote ruptured and water fountained in the air for about 12 hours before it was contained. Obviously that&#8217;s a lot of water lost and it&#8217;s heart breaking to see it go to waste when we can little afford to waste water.
It has been reported that people played in the [...]]]></description>
