4 A Betta Life

Saturday March 31 at 8:30 pm is Earth Hour 2012. How will you take part this year? Earth Hour was started 5 years ago (this is the 6th Earth Hour) by The Sydney Morning Herald and WWF Australia. In 2007,  an impressive 2.2 million Sydneysiders turned off their lights for an hour, from 8:30 pm. This desire [...]

The climate change and global warming supporters have had the loudest voices in recent times, as many of the climate departments are funded by leftist governments who want to convince us all that the earth is warming, so they can slap on Carbon taxes – like we are about to experience in Australia – and [...]

Climate science maverick James Lovelock believes catastrophe is inevitable, carbon offsetting is a joke and ethical living a scam. “There have been seven disasters since humans came on the earth, very similar to the one that’s just about to happen. I think these events keep separating the wheat from the chaff. And eventually we’ll have [...]

Climate Change, and how we humans should best address it, is a focus of many governments around the world today. Australia is in the process of becoming one of the first countries in the world to slap a tax on carbon dioxide emissions that will impact on the whole economy in one way or another. With [...]

  Recently I wrote on my blog about the benefits of walking barefoot on the grass. And I mean the luscious green stuff that grows in parks, gardens and on some sidewalks. Well, one usually doesn’t expect to find a patch of green growing grass in the middle of a large city like Sydney. Until now…… [...]

You turned off the lights, the TV and other electrical appliances last night from 8:30 to 9:30 didn’t you? Well I hope you did. But if that is all you are going to do, then you will help demonstrate that Earth Hour is just a symbolic event to make us all feel better about the planet, [...]

Saturday March 26 at 8:30 pm is Earth Hour 2011. Earth Hour was started 4 years ago (this is the 5th Earth Hour) by The Sydney Morning Herald and WWF Australia. In 2007,  an impressive 2.2 million Sydneysiders turned off their lights for an hour, from 8:30 pm. This desire to be part of tackling [...]

With so much catastrophe and destruction happening in the world around us now – earthquakes, tsunamis and now nuclear reactor explosions in Japan, earthquakes in New Zealand, cyclones and floods in Australia, heavy snow falls in northern Europe and America causing grief, especially to older people, it is no wonder many of us are asking “What is happening [...]

I am enthralled by the ocean, by the mystery and magic that lies beneath the waters that cover 70% of the earth’s surface. As we humans try to make a better life for ourselves up here on dry land, the myriad of sea creatures live a magical life far below the surface of the world’s [...]

If we want a better life for ourselves, I reckon this means we need to create a better life for our planet and our oceans. And we need to start now. The earth’s surface is over 70% water, so a healthy ocean can lead to a healthier planet. My surname is Fish and I am [...]

I wrote this as I wait to hear the outcome of the Copenhagen Conference. I’m not expecting much: A boy stands on the farmhouse porch and looks across the land The earth is red, the dams are dry,“No rain again, just sand” Far fewer cattle graze here now, they’ve all been shipped to town “My [...]

I, like many millions of others around the world, have been watching, daily, the progress, or lack thereof, at COP 15, in Copenhagen – the attempt by over 190 nations and world leaders to chart a course for the globe to halt and reverse global warming. According to science, we cannot afford to allow the global [...]
