Cut the Carbon
Parrys Raines on climate change and simple ways to make a difference.
Using Biomimicry to cut the carbon!
Biomimicry is looking at the way nature does things and then copying nature to build a sustainable future and now scientist are looking at humans to learn how we can help with climate change.
Water and Climate Change quiz
Water is precious, we all know that but how much do you really know about water and how climate change will impact on our future water resource?
My little interview with Tim Flannery
Professor Tim Flannery is an amazing man and has done amazing things. He is a scientist, explorer, and author and as I found out when I met him he has got a great sense of humour. Professor Flannery is someone I admire and look up to so to meet him was really special. I just wish I could spend more time with him to talk "enviro" talk!
Tim Flannery is in the house on Thursday night!
Tim Flannery is someone I truly admire. I know those who were able to get tickets for his talk this week will be very inspired. I wish I could be there!
One small step
Friday the 11th of February 2011 was a big day for me but the environment is the big winner. This was the official ceremony to announce that St Mary’s Star of the Sea College was banning the single use plastic bottle.
10,000 teenagers wanted!
I received this invitation and thought I would share it with you. All the details are below and I look forward to seeing you there!
Design for Humanity
When a natural disaster strikes children, little children under the age of five are most at risk. Children in developing countries and those at war already have a difficult time and when a natural disaster occurs it just adds to their problems.
Sustainable seafood
Most people would know that we are overfishing our oceans and how this is having a huge affect on the oceans and the wildlife that live there. When you buy your seafood do you have the knowledge to make informed choices?
Plastic state of mind
Music is a great way to get a message across to a large audience, especially to young people.
Tasmania bans plastic bags
After seven years and tri-partisan support the plastic bag will be banned in Tasmania within 12 months.
