We need more allotments !

I've borrowed this entry from Ziggiwigs blog. Perhaps if there were more allotments available we could encourage the neds to do something useful rather than trash them !

We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to provide more land for allotments for people to grow their own vegetables

This will do the following:

1. Allow people to save money.
2. Provide an area for abundant wildlife.
3. Help to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
4. Help to cut the amount of carbon dioxide in the world's atmosphere: people grow their own food instead of buying it all thus reducing 'air miles' (and shipping and lorry pollution).
5. Provide people with a community group to belong to and enjoy.
6. Provide people with a space to exercise while doing something worthwhile - it will benefit them in two different ways at the same time.

There simply aren't enough allotments around and waiting lists are ridiculously long in some areas.
