Madam, - Our country is blessed with a unique, renewable source of energy. Litter. This crop thrives throughout the land. It could be harvested, stockpiled and used to fuel power stations.

There are a number of advantages to doing so. Security of supply ad infinitumis guaranteed. Imports of expensive oil, gas and electricity could be cut. Such a measure might also benefit tourism as it would create the short-term illusion that the natives are a responsible people who care for their environment.

- Yours, etc,
