i haven't seen the film yet but will do one day.
hard to relate ones feelings in a post but -
1) admire some greenies who give up their time to protect things like old growth forests from the greedy loppers sending OUR woodchips abroad.
eg doco on the Gunn's in tassie and corruption in gov etc
2) stand at the front of any woolies or bunnings looking at the aisles and imagine how much plastic and cardboard packing exists, and where most of it ends up.
3) how many people agree with 'saving the planet' but don't really do anything about it. because it won't affect us in our lifetime. (me included)
4) does anyone (or can anyone) do anything about amazing new inventions that could save or replace fossil fuel. these inventions are usually bought by the greedy consortiums and 'buried'. (especially oil companies)
5) as for turning the lights off last week( didn't know about that one).
i was remembering the 'crisis' last year when most W.A. businesses and shops had to turn off lights etc to save power. i went shopping and didn't crash into anyone in the aisles cause it was too dark.
create the "glare police" who go round buildings during the day with lightmeters. (especially in gov buildings)
6) if our local council can force me to pay for putting the local electricity supply underground and the the state can force daylight saving on us-
why can't they force solar power on us.
if they had asked me if we want the electric underground for 'only' $1500, i would have told them to go away. but they did force it and now its done and paid .
i think people may have to be forced to do some things.
in summary, there are lots more to discuss, but so long as i toddle off to the supermarket and use my green bags, i'm doing my bit.
you can't beat that warm glow of satisfaction as you pile all your cardboard, paper and plastic covered items into that green bag.
i'm going to lie down now, goodnight
