This is unethical. And the fact it can in theory apply to mammals is just wrong.

@sbekessy @Biodivcouncil @RMIT_CUR @GeorgiaGarrard @RewildingOZ @livingbuilding Great article, thanks for sharing @sbekessy . It’s an ‘easy read’, and I’ve passed it on to my colleagues in Council.

Same playbook used by different industries over and over again; then the community pays for it later

[Sarah Bekessy @sbekessy]

I find this so incredibly galling - the same companies who we fought against and ‘won’ with cigarettes are back targeting teens with vapes in the exact same way. I really don’t know how they sleep at night

Global Financial Crisis - started by low-regulated lending to people who couldn’t afford to repay. That is why we have regulation. But those who make money from mortgages think it should be easier to get one. https://t.co/rPN1xXTKib via @ABCaustralia

With growing enthusiasm in gardening to help wildlife, which simple features will help the most native species?
After 5,795 wildlife surveys in 30 WA towns by 243 citizen scientists the results are in. 212 vertebrate native wildlife species used the gardens and only 4 non-natives. One type of feature attracted more wildlife and diversity than any other? Can you guess which?

Awesome project by @UWAAlbanyCentre and @PerthNRM

@YottiKingsley Photos of your recycle bin pre and post dumping is good too. 👍🏻

[Helen Scott @CoreSustain]

@YottiKingsley Given their illegally dumped Reno waste could include asbestos, Council needs to be alerted as it exposes the waste sorters at the start of the recycle processing line to that contaminant. Just my 2c worth.

[Helen Scott @CoreSustain]

@YottiKingsley So frustrating! EPA is the go to for night noise and Council for the illegal dumping. Get them on their radar. Very inconsiderate…. And illegal.

Word of the Day is ‘limbeck’ (16th century): to fatigue the brain with attempts to extract something useful from it.

Maybe if we listened to the horror being perpetrated right now in Gaza, we would not be so blind to what is happening?
