  1. "We are only a small population, a speck in the sand compared to some major continents in the world. If the speck in the sand can do this, then it can only be an opening for others around the world to do the same. Because without water, we’re gone. "

  2. Today has so far been sort of a lazy, under the weather loss but I'm feeling a little better at the moment so I'm going to see if I can do a small walk/hike.

    It was nice though, I did read and finish "Is a River Alive?" by Robert Macfarlane which I loved loved loved and HIGHLY recommend.

  3. UK government can never accept idea nature has rights, delegate tells UN theguardian.com/environment/20

    Well, maybe Mother Earth *should* be a legal entity in UK law!

    They can’t think beyond a closed system economic model in which nature is an unbounded source of raw material and sink for our waste.

    How the fuck do we get to sustainable living in harmony with nature unless we recognise nature’s inalienable needs in law?

  4. "Forest Culture in Relation to Industrial Pursuits", 1 8 7 1
    Ferdinand Jacob Heinrich von Mueller on forestry:

    "Strange as it may appear, an impression seems to be prevailing in these communities, as if our forests have to serve no other purposes but to provide wood for our immediate and present wants, be it fuel or timber."

    "For even after warning of climatic changes, and after the commencing scarcity of wood, no forest administration … has been as yet initiated in any portion of Australia". Wilderness remained "unguarded" and in some places was "already annihilated". 

    "No statesman, I feel assured, would want to impoverish our woods at the expense of the next generation."
