4 litres of spring water is over $4 because you must buy the container
first. After that the refill drops to about $2. That is the cheapest
price at a large supermarket on the city's edge. It's more if you don't
have a car and buy at the neighbourhood supermarkets.

We *all* pay too little for so many things: milk, oil, gas, water.

I don't buy the gallon jugs ... Also they are too hard to
handle and take up too much space in the fridge, especially
when they are half or more empty.

So, this is what has become of smn?

You have my condolences. 🙁

I don't buy gallon jugs either. Litres here... ; )

Four litre containers are too heavy for my hands. I tried buying four
litre containers and decanting to two litre containers. I spilled a lot
because of the same hands. Sometimes, I spilled the whole container.
One litre would be best, but I compromise, and put up with a little
pain, and try to remember to use two hands to lift.

Not everyone has the same set of practicalities to deal with.

It varies quite widely in my area. My favorite convenience store has
it for $2.29, whereas some of the local supermarkets have it for
$3.99, though there's usually at least one brand on sale. Milk prices
here in New England are subject to manipulation, as one company owns
the bulk of the production.

Indeed. All are subsidized by our wise government (both here and in
Canada) so the consumer doesn't see the true costs. Not even the true
present cost, let alone the long-term environmental cost (ie, the
difference between what you pay now to produce it unsustainably, and
what it would cost if it were to be produced sustainably).

Here in California our wise government subsidizes the price of water in
the Imperial Valley. With the result that cotton and rice (which are
properly flood plain and monsoon crops, respectively) are grown in the
middle of the desert! Or what would be a desert, if not for our mania
for taxpayer subsidized "public works." Go figure. In the middle of
this, hear the Left accuse big business of raping the environment. LOL.

With bottled cow's milk costing about four dollars per gallon (or 4
liters), cow's milk is fairly expensive compared to bottled water which
costs about one dollar per gallon (4 liters).

In pre-Civil War days, the USA South grew cotton. Are the Southern
USA states known as "flood plain" states?

Agricomplex *is* big business. {Raping the environment! How quaint. And

Water is ridiculously cheap. Instead of efforts to conserve North
Americans seem bent on finding ways to get more. So which Canadian
mountain spring did your cheap water come from?

Raping the environment I say...er...someone...

None. In the Imperial Valley it's Colorado river water. Which comes
from the Rockies on this side of the continental divide, far from
Canada. LA gets a lot of water from Sierra Nevada, Inyo, and White Mnt
runnoff that otherwise would have gone into the Owens Valley. Nowhere
near Canada, but still far enough from LA to cause longstanding
unhappiness in California.

"Agricomplex" is part government. In the Western US it's MOSTLY
goverment. The damn people who dammed up the Colorado were feds. The
states and private businesses wouldn't have dared. And properly so. I
wish the feds hadn't dared, either.

Have you heard of the Mississippi delta? It shines like a national
guitar....

Cotton CAN be grown on other than natural flood plains, if you have
irrigation. They grew a lot of cotton in Arizona, of all places. But
it's usually not a happy use of land or water, except in places where
there's water to spare. Which are fewer and fewer places in this world.
Water is surely turning up to be the worst critical resource of them
all. Far worse than land or air, and worse even than energy. At the
VERY high energies required for desalination, it's a tossup But you
sure as hell won't be growing cotton with THAT water.

As I sit here amidst the deluge: our city has lost 15,000 trees this
year because it's the fifth year of drought in a row. We've had three
good rains since snow melt. The snow is never enough, and anyway,
doesn't compare to rain.

The southern part of the province is floating aways, semis are
hyroplaning on the Trans Canada which has washed out near Banff,
thousands are evactuating; but it won't matter.

The southern part of this province is like California. Now.

Why?

No, of course it's not global warming. That Scandinavian
rightist-wingnut scientist said so.

In Canada, a gallon of bottled water may cost about $1.50.
Thus, the price comparison shows cow's milk costs about three times the cost
of a gallon of bottled water.

Maybe that is why, as you say, the volume of cow's milk
consumption by humans has stayed flat for the past 60 years.

That price is twice the amount as in the USA. What country do you
live in?

The one that sends you it's water.

Roll of the weather dice. Are you thinking that global warming has
caused not enough rain in the past few years, or too much this year?

I'm agnostic on the subject of global warming. If the Earth isn't
warming, it ought to be. And if we burn all the fossil fuel we know if,
I can't see that we can avoid it, eventually.

I personally recommend building more nuclear reactors, in spades. But
it's not a popular option. Down here, the Right wants to burn oil like
crazy and trust in God, and the Left wants to us all to cram up
together and live like Tokyo (the Left wet dream) and use trains and
bicycles.

Both parties nuts, as usual.

SBH

Both. Wet down south, drought in the north; dragonflies and moose on
the Mackenzie Delta where they don't belong.

The left wants us to... yes...uhuh...fascinating.

Guess I got left behind.
