Sheer stupidity by Aussie Attorney General

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.

Food & Diet & Health & Weight Loss

Are you confused about and by all the different diets?

Go into any bookstore and you will find a section dedicated to these books. Why? They make lots of money. Why? Many of us in the Western world are either overweight or think we are overweight or have a family member who is overweight.

So what IS the answer?

Well, the video in the following link is an overview of where to start:

Caffeine - topically - can make you look great

Using coffee scrubs on your skin can help your skin to appear more toned and cellulite free.

This is because it stimaulates blood vessels thus improving circulation therefore improving removal of waste products from the body (i.e. toxins, excess fluid, fats, metabolic biproducts).

You can easily make your own:

2 tablespoons ground coffee
1 tablespoon fine salt
2 tablespoons olive oil

Combine the ingredients and massage into your skin in a circular motion away from the heart and towards hands and/or feet.

Be sure to stop if you find it irritating.
People with broken capilliaries shoud not exfoliate.

Bottled Water – Is it what it claims to be?

The plain ones generally claim to be pure and clean or from a natural Spring.

Does the maker have laboratory proof?

Where did the water come from?

If it is purified water, what purification process was used? (There is only one method considered true purification – distillation – all the rest are considered types of filtration.)

Has the company had a laboratory test the water for contaminants? If so, what were the results?

 

Did you know that bottled water costs many times more than tap water (comparisons for the USA are a differential of up to 1,900 times!).

There are lots of potentially harmful contaminants in reticulated water – it varies for different towns. The most economical way to avoid them is to get a water purification or filtration system.

To avoid the potential hazards of disposable bottles (and the landfill issue), glass and BPA free bottles and jugs are the best storage options.

 

Ignore the marketing hype and look after yourself and the environment – we can help you with equipment and bottles:
