What steps can we take to protect the environment at home level?
What steps can
we take to protect the environment at home level?
1) Turn off the
coal power mains electricity to your home & install solar power.
2) Use any fossil
fuel motor vehicles as little as possible.
3) Grow your own
food (if you are keeping ducks in the garden you will need to use raised garden
beds or fence sections off & let the ducks in during off season).
4) Keep chooks
& ducks for eggs & meat.
5) Free range your
ducks in the garden area to kill the slogs & snails.
6) Start a compost
heap in your garden.
7) Feed all your veggie
scraps to the chooks & ducks, or, add them to you compost heap.
8) Grow fruit trees
& bushes.
9) Remove your
water toilets & install composting toilets.
10)Install a grey
water system that takes the water from the laundry, bathroom & kitchen into
deep trenches under you garden beds.
11) Purchase &
install rainwater storage tanks for house & garden & turn off the mains
water supply to your home. If you need to conserve water, use containers in
your kitchen sink for washing up & use this water on your trees.
12) Recycle as much
as possible yourself as recycling collection by the council may be just going
into landfill!
13) Try & avoid
purchasing food items in plastic wrap.
14)Try & avoid
purchasing anything in plastic bottles, choose glass over plastic.
15) DO NOT purchase
or accept any single use plastic items.
16)Choose glass or
ceramic containers over plastic when practical.
17) DO NOT purchase
poisons to kill weeds. Either dig them up by hand or use urine.
18) Only purchase
environmentally friendly washing soaps.
19)DO NOT use spray
cans of insect repellent or air fresheners.
20)
DO NOT burn coal.
21) DO NOT burn gas.
22)
Install a wood burning cook stove ( & heater if you
need to heat the house). Burning wood does create carbon emissions, but not as
much as coal, gas or using mains electricity. If you plant trees this should
offset these carbon emissions.
23)
DO NOT use an incinerator; put all biodegradables such as
lawn grass cuttings, weeds, leaves etc in the compost heap.
24)
Avoid purchasing anything that has to be transported by
truck, ship or plane.
25)
Avoid flying anywhere.
26)
Use a push mower if you have lawns to mow. A better
option is to turn your lawn into a veggie garden.
27)
Purchase second hand where you can.
28)
Move out of the city & live off grid if you can.

Stopping Global Warming, avoiding a worldwide mass extinction of all life on earth!
Stopping Global Warming, avoiding a worldwide mass extinction of all
life on earth!
So what is it these protesters want? They are asking the government
to act on global warming climate change, to stabilise it, to stop it before it
goes any further. But in order to do this, the government would have to shut
down all coal powered electricity generators, they would have to stop the
destruction ( burning, clearing, logging) of all native forests &
woodlands, & they would have to ban the further use of all motor vehicles
excepting those for essential services. Are the people really prepared for
this? Do they really expect the government to do this?
If we do not stop burning fossil fuels completely NOW, & stop
destroying our native forests & woodlands, then Australia is going to
become uninhabitable, global warming will cause teotwawki, & after that
quite possibly a mass extinction of humankind! Yes this will cause chaos in the
cities, UNLESS, the government fast tracks solar power to the electricity grid; this can be done, we have the technology, we have the solar panels, & we
have the massive battery storage facilities required.
But solar power is not a magic wand; solar power cannot stop global
warming if we are going to continue to burn fossil fuels, if we are going to
continue to use coal powered electricity, & if we continue to use
combustion engine vehicles.
Society needs to change, & it needs to change now. We do not have
enough time left for reductions, for cut backs, for promises of what we are going
to do by the year 2021-2022-2023 etc etc. We have literally run out of time, we have
left it too late to act. Ten years ago we could have started a progressive
program to change our society, to change the way we work & live. Ten years
ago we could have started working on solar & wind power for the grid. But
this was not done. The government was totally focused on the economy, focused
on keeping corporatism on side, focused on attracting votes, & the general
public kept on demanding more & more. More jobs, higher wages, more
housing, lower taxes, better health services; all of these wants & needs
were totally justified, but amongst the clambering for a perceived higher standard
of living, the majority of people forgot about the cost to our environment,
they forgot that humans are just another species of animal that relies on the
earth’s environment to keep us alive!
Humans have polluted the earth, contaminated the natural environment.
We have built cities that shut out the natural environment & the people in
those cities have lost contact with nature. Until these present bushfires
filled these cities with smoke, they had completely forgotten about the world
outside of their city. They have become totally dependent on modern technology,
& if that technology should now come to an end through global warming, then
society will collapse, & the people will die! It is as simple as that. You
now have to choose between life or death. Life in a changed society that may
not be to your liking, or life living a “Stone Age” lifestyle in a world that
is coming to an end. More heat, more storms, more droughts & perhaps more
floods. In some places more intense cold, because that is what climate change
is doing, it is creating more extreme weather conditions worldwide.
Australia is going to become uninhabitable if we do not stop global
warming NOW, & with global warming affecting the whole of our world, there
may be no place for us to migrate to. Think about that, but don’t take too
long, we are fast running out of time!

Vote major Parties LAST if you want to TRY & extend the life we have on earth!!!
No matter what any of the major parties promise, you should know by now that WE WILL BE PUT LAST!!! Liberals, Labor & the Greens must be put last on your ballot paper. I very much doubt that we are going to win/survive climate change, because for that to happen, the majority of people would have to rise up & kick the government OUT, & take control of climate change themselves. We would have to form a NEW non corrupt governing system, & that is just not going to happen!
This means that by the end of this century we could be looking at TEOTWAWKI, & into the following century or the next, possibly the extinction of all life on earth!!!
Check out this independent voting score card to see who is behind doing something about climate change & who is not! https://www.acf.org.au/scorecard-independent
By voting the major parties last, we may be able to give ourselves a little longer on earth, probably not in Australia, as it is likely to get too hot to survive here, but if we migrate to the Northern Hemisphere we may survive a little longer.

PLEASE Don't Ignore This Warning!!!
Right now nothing else really matters, not gun control, not water pollution, genocide in West Papua or anything else, because Global Warming is speeding up, & it will be an End Of The World event!!!
Not TEOTWAWKI, that implies a change in climate conditions that we can survive with a change of lifestyle, Global Warming will not be survivable!!! There is a strong probability that all life on earth will die, except maybe the cockroaches!
According to scientists around the world we have approximately 12 years in which to stabilise Climate Change, after that, we have past the tipping point & there will be no turning back!!!
No one can predict with any accuracy if it will in fact be 12 years or more, in fact it could be a lot less! Climate Change is moving faster all the time, as more ice melts, more C02 is released. China has closed some coal powered electricity generators, but it is constructing more & is still using coal! Australia is one of the major contributors to Global Warming, we have few people in Australia, but per person we are right up there with China!!!
If you think that this is all bullshit & that if Global Warming was real the government would be doing something about it, you are wrong!!! The government & Corporatism are corrupt to the core, they are greedy & money & power hungry & they DO NOT give a damn about the common people's welfare! Yes they are going to die too, though they may have the money to extend their lives underground for longer than we can survive on the surface. But by the time the end comes, most of these money hungry mongrels will already be dead anyway, & they know this!!!
The only way in which Global Warming can be stabilised, & I mean stabilised, not stopped & not reversed, just slowed down & kept at present levels, is for a majority of people to take control of this situation!
For those people who still do not believe in Climate Change, look at it this way. If Climate Change is not happening, & we do all we can to stop it's progression, we will have at least made this world, this country, a better place to live in. We still have pollution & contamination to worry about, this is effecting the quality of our drinking water supply & the food we eat. It is effecting the very air we breath. So doing something about Global Warming is not a waste of time & money, we will be making this a better country to live in.

The Fuck-it Point
As I see it we have to keep on trying to improve our own environment,
& keep trying to inform others. Are we a minority? Probably, but we are so
distant from one another it is hard to tell. Looking at all those millions of
people in our cities you wonder if life could ever be any other way for them,
how can they possibly change their environment?
We are doing the right thing right now, it may not be perfect, but it is the best we can do with what we have to work with. Like this video says, we have to survive the system whilst trying to change it. Personally I don't see it changing, we do the best we can to delay the inevitable, we teach our kids & our grandkids how to survive what is to come. Governments are corrupt & greedy for power & money & the majority of people will vote for that government over & over again. They don't want to know about global warming, it is too big for them to handle. They don't want to hear about the genocide in West Papua, it is so removed from their lifestyle, their way of life. They are too busy trying to keep up with the Jones's to worry about the demise of a people a world away.
I think before anything is done to save this planet it will all hit the fan. Maybe it won't start in our countries, maybe the protests & riots will start somewhere else & start to spread. Maybe one day there will be enough people who see the light & say f**k it, enough is enough.

Biologists are warning that tiny microbial organisms are being moved around the planet on an unprecedented scale.

microbial organisms are being moved around the planet on an unprecedented
scale.
They're worried the usually unseen ecosystems will get
out of balance in the same way that larger animals and plants can become pests.
With bacteria in our oceans providing most of the
oxygen we breathe it could become a matter of life and death.

Australian National Security. Terrorism.
I did a quick search on the net this morning to see if there were any disaster preparedness surveys or government advice sheets. I found nothing to date. I find this quite amazing. In & post WW2 there was advice on needed supplies, how to preserve foods, how to save money when purchasing food, growing your own food etc etc. The world has changed. My advice, Be Prepared!
