13.01.2022 Byron residents, we only have until May 6th to get our submissions of objection into council for amendments to the proposed Ewingsdale development. Our submissions made a difference last time to effectively block this development from proceeding. These submissions will be provided to the Land & Environment Court and Joint Regional Planning Panel (as the Consent Authority in this matter) for consideration. Unless you want a monstrous sound wall along Ewingsdale road and the destruction of the sensitive Belongil creek area surrounding the development then please get your objections to:

10.01.2022 Support the Organic Consumers Association of Australia to * ensure consumer interests are represented at all levels of management of organic including standards, certification, & marketing. * support existing organic farmers & encourage public policy that supports more conversion of farmland to organic.... * defend all organic standards including avoidance of harmful inputs, regenerative management of land, humane treatment of animals & fair trade. * keep pesticides away from food & protect the environment. * encourage domestic regulation. Current Australian consumer law can regulate organic claims, but lacks specific organic legislation so there is little surveillance of the market, especially imported products; some products are uncertified; complaints are rarely pursued. * Fight forces that want to lower standards to permit soilless growing systems, allow synthetic chemicals, intensify animal keeping, accept GMO contamination, & remove environmental care obligations of certified organic production. Join us - help protect the integrity of organic production & encourage conversion to organic, for the benefit of human health & the environment.

10.01.2022 A specialist from the US Department of Agriculture’s food safety and inspection service (FSIS) told the food website the Takeout in February that as long as a c...an is kept in good condition (ie, it is not swollen, rusting, leaking or heavily dented), its contents are safe to eat, for ever. They will never make you sick, she said. The FSIS’s own website, however, appears to contradict that advice, stating in its shelf-stable food-safety guidance that there are limits to how long canning will preserve food. Clearly, this lack of clarity has implications for both the health of the environment and the health of the nation. What you don’t eat, you’ll end up binning, even if you could have safely eaten it; and what you don’t know not to eat could make you sick. A joint report from the Natural Resources Defense Council and Harvard Law School in 2013 said that 40% of American food goes uneaten each year, and the disorienting effect of the US date labelling system is in large part to blame. At the same time, said the report, that system fails to convey important food safety information, despite the appearance of doing so. https://www.theguardian.com//the-truth-about-expired-food-
