Well said Mike, one of the problems is that we can all plant a tree as Mick suggests, but at least here in Tasmania, logging interests will cut down far more than we plant (many times more) and governments are making the average joe act more responsibly whilst at the same time letting (some) big business get away with unsustainable practices. Our Tasmanian government has spent 1.5 million of Taxpayers money on a spin doctoring campaign promoting a pulp mill (PRIVATE) which will use more power, more water and more of our valuable forests. The company proposing the pulp mill is the very same company that are taking Bob Brown and many others to court because they have had the courage to stand up and protest. All this at a time when we are in the midst of the longest drought in history, our water (hydro) reserves are so low that we may face power restrictions.
