Can you imagine the banning of acacias?
Well, moves are afoot in Australia to do just that under certain circumstances (and they are very broad).
The current list contains five (5) species but the plan is to expand it by hundreds if not thousands! It will affect the backyard enthusiast right up to commercial nurseries and Landcare groups.

Human and planetary survival and climate change are intertwined
Climate Change is doing severe damage all ready (latest example in my country is Cyclone Yasi).
The way we operate broadscale agriculture is one thing that urgently needs to change. It is doable, it is not so difficult, it is rewarding for those doing it and it can be applied practically anywhere.
How we all live our lives - especially in the West - needs to alter quickly.
Reduce your carbon footprint NOW. Even if you all ready do and you don't think you can any further, reflect on it and how you live. Try helping others to reduce their footprint by at least 10-20% over the course of 2011. Explore ways you might reduce your own further if you were able to form groups or partnerships with others to accomplish various things - share garden/farm for fruit and vegies; car share/pool; cargo bike share; share composting and worm farming facilities (have a larger system, collect scraps from local business); create biofuel communally - lots of things are possible.
