  1. Written over 10 years ago, this opening paragraph of Tom Friedman's “The Earth Is Full” is even more relevant now, and we're still digging in deeper!

    It leaves me wondering how much longer it's going to continue before governments stop being manipulated by the "Captains of Industry" for their economic gain. The warning bells are ever-loudening ...

    "You really do have to wonder whether a few years from now we’ll look back at the first decade of the 21st century — when food prices spiked, energy prices soared, world population surged, tornados plowed through cities, floods and droughts set records, populations were displaced and governments were threatened by the confluence of it all — and ask ourselves: What were we thinking? How did we not panic when the evidence was so obvious that we’d crossed some growth/climate/natural resource/population redlines all at once?"

  3. To cap it all: overcoming our British fear of fungi
    We have a complicated relationship with mushrooms but, as scientists point out, they are a wonder weapon in our fight to help the environment so we need to make our peace with them

  8. Standard passenger cars are less likely to kill or seriously injure pedestrians and cyclists. Just one reason why the takeover of our roads by SUVs and UTEs is so fucked. Then there are the environmental issues and toll on the roads. We need to add a huge tax on owning oversized cars (with tradies being the exception)

  18. Coca-Cola (and others) currently take huge amounts of free fresh water away from national park aquifers at Springbrook and Tamborine Mountain. Every 20 years the Qld Gov reviews the water plans that govern these areas. A review of those water plans has begun and the gov is open to public input only until 21 July. For more details, please watch this video (youtu.be/Cn9ZFlClPjE) and consider signing this petition ( chng.it/qXRw9wRB2L).
