Conservation

Oh its so simple..it seems all we have to do is shower with a bucket, buy a grey water sign, slip on an artfully trendy wrist band with a slogan like 'feed the world', ' i care' or ' i bought this to alleviate my guilt', pay a couple of dollars extra when you fly to carbon neutralise your flight and buy the occasional organic product and the world environmental crisis is no longer a problem.

Phew

Thank the lord. And here i was thinking we had a problem, as i drink the last few percentages of my cities water supply, watch the river ways belch under the combined refuse of too many houses while thinking 'isn't it nicer that the summers are longer now'

People it's not going away and unless we do something radical then its all going to shit in a handbasket. And i don't even use hand baskets so that's how shitful it's going to be

here's what we have to do.

1. Firstly stop "A Current Affair" and "Today Tonight". Not going to help the environment but i just don't like them and while we are changing things it seems like a good as time as any.
2. Ban all private Motor Car use. You heard me! all of it! if you want to go somewhere use those useless dangly things below your hips, catch public transport or catch a taxi. Excellent. While at it ban Motor sports as well. Pointless. yes yes yes the oil industry will be a little upset by lot of revenue but may go someways to making people review fighting in deserts over some black sticky stuff. oh and public transport is totally funded by the government , say the tobacco lobby. If you can't afford it from the tax made already then increase the tax on cigarettes
3. All immigrants have to be carbon neutral or taxi drivers.
   
4. Ban Lawns, except in public spaces. They waste too much water and pump too much fertiliser into the water systems. We can all recreate together in an outpouring of daily communal good will. Come on name three people you know who actually use their lawn!
5. Restrict Airtravel. Maybe a limit of flights per lifetime or maybe we should just stop all flights to Adelaide, Perth and Brisbane both on reasons of conservation and good taste. Hell let's sell Perth to the South Africans. They can make of it what they will and we can ignore Adelaide like a strange second cousin and stop inviting it to our weddings. Brisbane we will leave as the new capital of Cane Todia. Obviously we can easily stop flying overseas because everywhere else is full of terrorists, crooks and "it Inst really as nice as we thought it was when we read the brochure"
   
6. Reduce population. Obviously when the Baby Boomers all retire and the Superannuation and health care system collapses under the weight of their doddering Alzheimic advance, has they constantly mutter it was better in my day we can quite easily ignore their generation and let them fade. And lets be honest it not like oild people are the biggest consumers, most don't drive out of their suburbs. the real issue is the growth of the population. Lets face it Conservation = Contraception. From now on everyone is allowed one kiddie, yes only one for keeps. You can have two but the second is just a spare, in case. At a suitably prearranged age you must choose between them and let one of them go. No need to be fatal about it, we'll ship them all off to Tasmania or let them loose in the Simpson Desert or some other place that we all have heard about but would never go to thank you very much. Nice. They could become an attraction "come see the herds of the Other children of Australia roam the countryside" Goodo. Nothing wrong with a population of people who live on the outskirts and add to our tourism dollar but we never have to care about. And the few pinky lefties who care about them, can buy an artfully trendy wristband and chuck on a t-shirt, that always solves the issues of the world
