More interviews tonight on the ABC News. Again........complaining about the cost of this scheme to households and business!
Let me ask the following questions
1. What is the cost of not being about to grow food anymore due to a colapse of the ecosystem
2. What is the cost of running out of fresh water or hugely reduced water resources
3. What of the cost of wiping out flora and fauna that keeps the environment healthy and balanced
4. What about the cost of destroying the tourist attractions of the barrier reef, rainforests
5. What about the cost of not being able to go to the beach anymore
6. What about the increased cost in insurance as storms and droughts become more severe and regular
I could go on. Can we afford to gamble with the science. We need to take some pain now for long term gain?

This blog sets out to discuss the various environmental issues been faced by all of us. I will discuss current issues around water, energy, farming, emissions trading. I am not an extemist however I do have strong views on certain topics. I believe there needs to be a balance between economics and the environment and pratical solutions on the home front. If I think certain things are outright ridiculous then I will say so. I will push good ideas and support good initiatives.

Well done on launching such a topical blog. You're right. The cost is minimal for giving our Z generation and beyond, the simple enjoyments that we and our predecessors have enjoyed. It's about time that focused less on the debate and more on ownership in salvaging and nurturing the resources available to us and recognising that the cost overall is small when compared to the long term impact of our actions.
Thanks for your support. It is a very topical area and one that I will pusue.
I have been offline for a while and will be adding some posts this week.
thanks
