Town planning and building departments

We look to our civic leaders for direction and support.
They put the laws and bi laws in place to protect us from harm and ourselves.
Well what have been the results.

This is just one and shows the problem dramatically and we accept this as the normal or you may like this.


This could be any city in the world after severe storms.
If Sydney Australia was hit with a severe weather system the results would be the same.
The housing industry needs  to be looked world wide with the structures they build being able to stand up to severe winds and rain.
Now we come to planning and development for our new buildings we build the same after fire or flood.
Building for such events is easy and it needs a change in the process.
 In Wollongong (the city of innervation) my proposals were knocked back because they were too radicle.  Yes radicle steel minute frame and concrete partially underground.
In severe weather our homes do not stand a chance.
Our civic leaders have failed us and so have our governments.
The scene above will happen again as we found our in Nowra a year ago but we were lucky when a hurricane hit but it missed the suburbs.

Recycle should we.

Lets be honest with our selves!
What are you prepared to recycle?
This image used in its various forms is used a lot, Note that its a wheel and it goes arround and the more it goes arround the better it is.
Lets think, what do I not want to recycle?
 Cancer dirty air pollutants yet these to are to name a few are going to be recycled weather we like it or not.
Lets put it another form in the following case in black and white.
Same logo same stuff to recycle.
Yet we do not recycle love with a catchy symbol it is more like war with the never ending death that follows. War zones are recycled especially if the is oil involved.

Even the oil companies know where the stuff ends up and they tell you in a supple way in the oceans!
I think this one come from Better Petrol (BP)
Here is one for you how are we going to recycle the space junk?


Food for thought


No thanks but the conditions are changing.

These are not my logos they are someone else's work the story's mine.
And yours.

Carbon and carbon tax

Humans are responsible for the carbon in the atmosphere but not by the way politicians and most people are lead to believe and think. They used to think the world was flat and some still do.
Deforestation and desertification are the trouble, Yes the worlds deserts are growing at an alarming rate.
Why
Its not the animals they have been there for years in large herds like the American buffalo and thrived.
Then what is the problem well its small herds in small paddocks and the ground does not recover.
More carbon is released to the atmosphere every year by this means than any other.
Clear felling trees is a crime against humanity so is small paddocks and large herds in these paddocks.
I see where herds of sheep are in large paddocks feeding off the stubble after harvest with no shade.

If I were to leave my dog in the back yard with out shelter I would be fined and may be even locked up. The question is why is it different for sheep. To debunk popular belief sheep do not have a brain and they are intelligent. If they get out of a paddock they don't go back and tell the others they go in and out of the paddock for days even weeks. They know if they all go out then the hole in the fence will be fixed and none of them will get the good grass.

So lets have some serious discussions on carbon and carbon taxes and not let the politicians get away with another tax to pay more increases in government regulations and bureaucracy.

Found on the beach

This thing is four foot high and four foot diameter. Not bad for a days picking.
