Bikes are not only a great way to reduce your carbon footprint, they're also the coolest and funnest mode of transport around. This groups for anyone who loves their bike just a little to much for their own good!

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…

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…

By 2050, 25m more children will go hungry as climate change leads to food crisis

Interesting read over at the Guardian website about the impact Climate change is having on children around the world. It is estimated that in sub-Saharan Africa, people will on average have only 1,924 calories a day by 2050, compared with 2,316 in 2000. For comparison, as of 2000 each person in industrialised nations had 3,450 calories available to them.

"Twenty-five million… Continue

Companies call for 'credible' climate action

The Age - September 23, 2009
CHRIS ZAPPONE

A group of 500 global businesses, including dozens of Australian corporations, have called for "credible" action on climate change.

The publication of the so-called Copenhagen Communique comes two months before the UN climate change conference in Copenhagen in December, amid fears the meeting will fail to put in place an agreement to effectively cut the carbon emissions blamed for global climate change.

Local companies such as National Australia Bank… Continue

Climate Cash Could Create "Copenhagen Stimulus"


Interesting article out of Reuters about climate change funding and the global economic crisis.

"The question is how can we frame Copenhagen so actually this is about stimulating those parts of the world, poorer developing countries, hit hard by the crisis."

The photo of this ancient tree (I think it's probably a blackwood) was taken at Grieves Reserve, which is a Trust for Nature property, just out of Mirboo Nth. It is adjacent to pine plantation, and probably near the origin of the Delburn/Boolarra Fires that were one week before Black Saturday. This reserve had an area of cool temperate rainforest that'll probably never recover.

Hi Tom, good we share some of the same concerns. Added to this is my belief that as we harm the planet we harm ourselves. I am therefore interested in eco-psychotherapy and healing.

I am from Karachi, Pakistan. My organization, Sindh Social Development Network (SSDN), is committed to protect the wetlands spread over a vast area in Sindh region in Pakistan. Protecting wetlands means to protect the international routes of migratory birds from Siberia and protecting the local communities from internal migration.

Hi, Tom - have you received any info on the claim that we can make our own home made energy systems? I repeat this request because if this works as claimed, and is feasible for Australian conditions, the cost of sustainable energy should be greatly reducedl - as a result, less carbon pollution! I have no vested interest in this scheme, just want to know if anyone has tried it, and what the outcome as been. The website address, again, is: www.homemadeenergy.org.
