08.01.2022 KNOW THY ENEMY - If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.

Climate Change science is based on observation and evidence....Continue reading

03.01.2022 a petition worthy of support - to legislate that it be illegal for businesses to supply, and for customers to use free plastic produce bags for things like bananas, pineapples, whole watermelon, whole rockmelon, whole honeydew and whole pumpkin. The ban could extend to avocados, sweet potato, oranges, tomatoes and other fruit with robust skin. We request: 1. It be illegal to have free plastic bags near large thick-skinned produce. 2. Visible signs are used to ask customers to purchase the produce without plastic. 3. Fruit and vegetables with robust skins be made available with no packaging at all (not pre-packed in plastic).

03.01.2022 BOSS has written to all candidates in the upcoming local election, and we look forward to sharing with you the responses to the following questions once received. 1. Do you accept the science of climate change? 2. If elected, would you support a declaration of climate emergency motion for the Scenic Rim ? 3. What are the top five initiatives you would look to implement to ensure a more sustainable Scenic Rim ? 4. Are you a member of a political party, and if so, which one ?

02.01.2022 we’ve been caring about fashion and sustainability for a while with our annual clothes swaps for seven or eight years now, but I still remember the first time I discovered second hand clothes back in 1974 at Henry’s (?) weekly jumble sales at the old Boonah school of arts with tables and tables strewn with clothes
