Only 30% larger? I would have thought it was many, many times larger considering the way the average Australian lives would require 8 earths if everyone lived that way, and many people in third world countries live in destitute poverty and barely ma…
PS Neither of us us ever stated 'only' the developed world, but we're just destroying the planet at least 8 X as fast as other people per capita. Haven't you read the stuff about global footprints?
I don't think it's obvious that either of us has any children at all. But you actually support the point of the Western world taking more, Peter. Who are those in the developing world working and polluting for? Multi-Nationals are only powerful beca…
It's election time in Victoria. More pressure on the government from the population... trouble is, most of the population don't want to change our lifestyle. The media could surely play a constructive, rather than destructive role in all of this?
Yes, but those of us in the Western World contribute about 8 x as much to destroying the planet as they do in other countries, so before we say just let's stop people having babies, we must cut down on our indulgent living and live sustainably. Redu…
Surely The Greens should have the documents that Dr Chris James is talking about? I am very surprised that Bob Brown hasn't been making a big deal of them. Why don't you make sure he has them, and send them to him with accompanying letters in all th…
Why is Australia seeking to 'reduce its carbon footprint by using ETS, rather than genuinely reducing our emissions by using solar, thermal, wind and sea technologies, two of which are available now?
Hi All,
We're much more likely to get letters published if we respond to a story or an opinion piece in the newspaper, preferably the same day. Also, get a whole heap of people that you know writing on the same day: they choose a representative sel…
How many people who actually ARE concerned about climate change are investing their super into clean energy companies and lobbying their politicians hard. If you don't know where your super is, ring your company super's director and demand that they…
In 2006, Australia's military expenditure was 2.4% GDP. I have been unable to find a percentage GNI for 2009, but given that climate change is likely to lead to huge threats in security, and more fighting over land, wouldn't it be better for Austral…
It's true that rushed decisions will probably fail, but if this negotiation takes much longer, we'll all fail and many countries will go under... What can we do to make the government speed up the process.
Also, when is Kevin Rudd going to fall ove…
Hi Alison,
I forgot. Often our own lifestyle is more important than what we teach the kids. They notice. I don't know what you're doing already, but incidental teaching, possibly about why you ride a bike to school (if you do), your own healthy, lo…
Hi Alison,
re ideas with kinder and primary kids, I agree with Caroline that any arty crafty stuff is good, but I think it's best if you use sustainable stuff: use household 'rubbish' to get the kids to make artwork about carbon footprints, or at le…
I'm all for spreading the word, but I don't understand how discussions on a website can do so. The people who look at the website know about it already. Writing to MPs I think is a different matter: it's obvious how that should work.
