The aim of this website

Is to explore what an individual can do to make a difference. I am absolutely convinced that Global Warming is in progress and that we must do all in our power to reverse the trend. Contact me by commenting on my posts.

Actions that can be taken at five levels: personal, local, state, national and international.

Not in my backyard! [27]

Rushing to get a post in before midnight. Last night I was in a residents meeting and forgot to post for yesterday!

Today, first thing, I met and spoke with a journalist. Then I went for a regular meeting with five friends.

I skipped lunch after a good morning tea with the friends. Then one hour on the phone to a lawyer.

I met with a body corporate, which had made a submission to the local government.

I went to a public meeting on transport options for the city. I said hello to a local politician, but there was  no time to talk.

I went to a regional community council. The same politician was there. I was able to talk for about 20 minutes. A useful conversation, shared with a resident from my neighbourhood.

At every occasion, except the transport meeting, six out of seven, I spoke on the topic I am taken over by - the opposition to a Lease Purpose Clause to make way for a night club. What a day! Exhausted. Up early tomorrow and back into it.
