  3. Slips, trips and fall risks from ubiquitous dogs

    In dog-friendly Australia it seems the non-native canine is the most dominant species. They are allowed to roam the (dog-free) beaches, the national parks and (pet-friendly) workplaces, flats, cafes, restaurants etc. If not straying, then they are on long or flexible, extendable leashes stretching across hallways and footpaths.

    This trip-and-fall risk is human-unfriendly. The health, safety, and well-being of the bipedal companions is not considered. Pet dogs pose hygiene issues, potential zoonoses and allergy risks. The mental well-being of bite victims and phobia affected can trigger distress.

  8. In Bellingen all space seems devoted to parking for combustion machines. Every lawn, river banks, footpaths - everywhere space is eaten by cars with an expensive need for petrol from the Middle East. Carparks litter the landscape of the small town that has very few footpaths.

  10. The end of the road trip?

    The culture of 'the drive' requires sisyphean road maintenance, especially in a climate emergency.

    Mobile sprawl as a form of 'recreation' eliminates the landscape. It is the annihilation of space and time. Motorists want to get from their door to the spectacle in the fastest way possible. The 'in-between space' viewed through the car window vanishes.

    The pleasure cruise from A to B does not just degrade the landscape, but also eradicates possibilities of a livable planet. The overuse by the masses in their fossil fuel boxes makes the hillsides crumble, leads to landslides and erosion. After flash flooding, drought and heatwaves the roads have to be rebuilt over and over again.

    Here are three cases of 'scenic drives':
    California, Victoria and NSW

    Extreme weather is changing California. These road trips show how

  15. @abff08f4813c @LALegault

    I'm saying compare the #decision as to whether to search this landfill to the history of similar choices made by the same #authorities, rather than to other decisions made by *different* authorities (cities, provinces).

    The #hazards are significant. #Refuse has really poor #structural qualities. People are #killed every year when the hole they're digging in a landfill while looking for #valuables collapses.

    re: cost - consider #opportunity #cost as well.

  17. Demolition and excavation is taking place at the #Bellingen's Carl Foster's garage on Hyde Street.
    Will it be a community venue? Will it be a three storey flat development residential on a very busy road?
    Just after the construction works for the asbestos removal of the Bellingen Memorial Hall are nearly completed...
