Pensioners do not need to live more frugally, corporatate exectives do. As for population, if you let down the barriers and allowed people to share some of the wealth and be properly educated then we wouldn't have to worry about population. There is…
The carbon lobby have convinced everyone that capitalism will collapse without raw minerals resources. This is nonsense, modern capitalism and its mode of dirty industrialisation might collapse, but capitalism existed long before modernism. Unfortun…
Anger! I find this an interesting topic because as a psychotherapist I am now watching a shift in academic and social movement philosophies towards dispensing with 'anger' and moving towards positive ideals that have their roots in positive psycholo…
Biochar in Victoria is coming from brown coal. Liquid fuels are also planned from brown coal at the HRL plant in Latrobe Valley. A recent RIS on changing the Victorian mining regulations has basically said the mine in the Valley is likely to collaps…
The government has gone mad. I read in the Age on Monday that the state government in Victoria are taking water from food growing farmers and puting it through the north-south pipline and replacing the water with biochar on the soil. Biochar comes f…
The Equal Share website is under construction.
Education is the way to go, but unfortunately governments don't like people to be too clever, it's not in their interests. There is a distinct dumbing down, I believe, and the creation of an underclass…
I am part of a group called Equal Share, which helps people to build sustainable lifestyles through gardens and food as well as other creative projects. It is aimed at people who are challenged by the the everyday negotiations of commercial and soci…
Great ideas guys, but what do we do about the big problems like the 20,000 gas wells planned for Queensland on land that used to produce food. And why do people think that because the gas is synthetic it is renewable?
Check out this website for an interesting journey into discursive politics. This guy is Australia's version of Michael More http://www.youtube.com/unitednatures
The Greens have been alerted to the new Australian mining boom, which is taking place in all states and causing land losses and degradation to a lot of people, especially farmers. The federal government support CCS. The UN don't, not yet!!!

Still the Australian government is pushing through its mining boom and calling it renewable. 95% of the value has been lost from homes along the Victorian coastline and the Minister has put a ban on development. The reason is climate change. No bans…
This is a joke, the Victorian government is putting in more coal mines, expanding gas and oil and turning the waste into fertilisers to spread on the land so farmers can earn credits but the the farmers don't want to pay for the CO2s they emit, they…

I think one of the best ways to spread the word about climate change is through education, enthusiasm & communication...all the things this website is aiming to do. :)

Michael Beasley said… - I totally agree with you. "Clean coal" technology is just an excuse to maintain our destructive way of life. Test plants are having trouble storing even small amounts of CO2. How is this technology ever going to cope in the real world?
