"Once tagged by this entry, the assignment is to write a blog entry of some kind with six random facts about yourself. Then, pick six of your friends and tag them; no tag backs. This explanation should be included."
erm... this entry is a placeholder until i think of a creative way to answer this.
Haha, yeah, except that's not the question. THAT would be a decent question. MY question is: "How does sustainability address long-standing issues in Australian life?"
It's a bit hard with the chapters they give us to read. Suburbs, bakyards, front yards, cars. It requires a lot of energy and thinking to draw, evaluate and argue issues from these...
Is water use a valid issue? That's what I thought of when I saw your mention of suburbs and back and front yards. I know a very posh suburb in Perth which used to have a lovely lake, only now it has an unlovely dustbowl because all the people who couldn't stand the thought of their non-sustainable non-native gardens dying got bore water installed and basically drained the groundwater supply :( I don't imagine so many people enjoy that park now.
Sorry for butting in, but your comment caught my attention.
Yeah, I linked that in with my thing on suburbs. It's one of the main concerns; that and oil usage (I'd say nearly the majority of people in outer suburbs drive to work). Anyway, it's all done (well, short 500 words) and handed in now ^_^
