Well at the risk of sounding all “woe is me”, there hasn’t really been much to write about in the last “little” while. In all fairness, what I should say, I guess there hasn’t been anything worth updating more than of my one-too-many-statuses. That being said, this past weekend I made...
Aquaculture is a double-edged sword, however. Its use as a production method has the potential to relieve some of the overwhelming pressures on natural fish species. All too often, however, the techniques used in aquaculture are, in and of themselves, harmful to the environment, especially in cases...
There are a group of people who do not believe climate change is happening and we are the cause of it ...They have various conspicacy theories and facts that earth's climate has always been continually changing, "inter planetary activity", the sun spouting solar flares ... Well you could debate that...
While researching something different I came across a useful tidbit of information when considering the size of Australia's population. The most recent projection put Australia's population at 35 million by 2050, and this growth is one of the major challenges facing Australia's future. According to...
So our stupid bath tub drain is always slow. And its so gross to stand in water up to your ankles when you are taking a shower, even when you know its your own dirty water.....I've gotten so many bottles of Liquid Plumber and all that type of junk and nothing helped. Saturday morning Ryan decided to...

A critical step in this supercharged setting is to imagine together the world of our vision. All current signs point to a future of catastrophe and ruin, and it is easy to envision many such scenarios but much harder to visualize a future of opportunity and renewal. The latter is still a vague and...
Secretary to the Treasury, Dr Ken Henry, gave a pretty good speech to the Queensland University of Technology Business Leader's Forum (transcript) on "The Shape of Things to Come: Long Run Forces Affecting the Australian Economy in Coming Decades". He outlines the four major pressures on Australia...
Apparently, this video has been making the rounds, but today was the first I had heard or seen it. Watching this has helped me renew my commitment to do better at consuming less and repurposing more. Now that BossyBoots has left the city for the next five months, I will have to more things like this...
From tree murder to new growth all within a 8 to 9 month time span. Click here to read my original post about these trees.
I'm very concerned about planet earth. That is why I choose voluntary simplicity and frugality. I have also given environmentalists and politicians many practical ideas to reduce carbon emissions. It seems to be working ~ a nearby town (Merrillville, IN) will disconnect every other streetlight on...
Let’s all embrace the inaccuracy! This will be brief. Hopefully I won’t have to drill this one home too much. It’s obvious that this is wrong and any respectable journalist should recognize that this is wrong and reject it on its face and refuse to play along. From the...
Green activists have called this weekend's climate swoop a 'massive success' after breaking into and spending 24 hours outside Ratcliffe coal-fired power station.

Watching The Age of Stupid was kind of good, a fresh reminder of things I've been sidelining. Not that I haven't been reusing and recycling and reducing, just not enough. The environmental cause used to be my pet topic, but I'm fallen behind on developments in recent times. And quite frankly, I'm...
Climate Change – Is it a big deal? Climate Change is a big topic at the moment, has been for a while, and is the subject for the 'Blog Action Day 09' www.blogactionday.org but is it something to worry about? So it gets a bit warmer, there's a few less creatures running about in corners of the...
Today I’m joining 8,000+ bloggers from 144 countries, reaching 11 million viewers to chime in one a single important global issue of climate change for Blog Action Day, and want to share with the world why this topic is personal for me. While green living is popular, fashionable and trendy right...
Let's be reasonable for a moment. Just a bit of a reality check.. Is there a reason why the venture capitalists of this world weren't already funding Fisker? This is the kind of thing that goes beyond leaving us scratching our heads. It's going to be an interesting fable when they start explaining...
