25.01.2022 I did a course on nutritional farming about 6 years ago. Building up the microbes and mycorrhizal fungi is quite easy and so impressive to see the extra water holding capacity. When I started water would just run off the clay soil here in Urangan/Wondunna, but now I can poor on a watering can without the rose and it will just sink into the soil. For 1% increase in soil carbon every square meter will hold 17 more litres of water. There is no better way to mitigate flood, drought and climate change.

23.01.2022 Heard the good news? Australia is now one step closer to its first offshore wind farm. The Star of the South project proposes to install 2GW of wind turbines 8...-13kms offshore from Port Albert in Victoria. Renewables, like wind and solar, are now the cheapest form of new energy generation. See more

22.01.2022 10 years ago, Jerry from ABC Gardening Australia (https://www.abc.net.au/garden/jerry-coleby-williams/9423816) helped Transition Town Hervey Bay with a plant and seed swap. The idea was to build capacity and resistance to outside shock. He gave us food plants to propagate and distribute through the community which we did. In light of current events, is there any interest in starting local food plant swap? I still have some of those plants that originally came from Jerry's ga...rden and I am happy to share, (I only have a few so first come first serve - based in HB). My current focus is more on the economic troubles that we face, because while the masses become unemployed they are less able to focus on environmental issues. If you are interested please check out Hinkler for UBI (https://www.facebook.com/hinklerubi/) I think the admin of Transition Maryborough and SustainaBundy will also reactivate their pages. See more

19.01.2022 This is exciting. I hope they can come up with a system that ditches the need for continual growth so that we can give nature a chance to heal.

09.01.2022 We believe if everyone grew their own food, our communities would be happier and healthier. We'd have better suntans and dirtier nails. We'd be more connected t...o nature and our neighbours. Life would be juicier and more delicious. We're on a mission to get more people growing, sharing and eating locally grown foods.

05.01.2022 Yikes! This is what we call a feedback loop - where climate change, driven by greenhouse gas emissions, leads to catastrophic bushfires which in turn, creat...e more greenhouse gas emissions. It's a vicious cycle which we need to break, by moving away from burning coal, oil and gas for energy, and embracing the green energy revolution. See more
