You inspired us every day and im sure will continue to inspire in the future in all that you do - shown already in your wisdom to retire on top and hand the mantle to the new generation (unlike some!). Great article by Mr Ben Eltham …

The Gillard Government’s media inquiry has provided the big players with an opportunity to deny there’s anything amiss in the industry. That’s rank hypocrisy, argues Ben Eltham (via You Wouldn’t Read About It | newmatilda.com)

Just goes to show how far behind we are in Australia

The UK’s Green Deal legislation went through Parliament this week – Hurrah! It allows residential retrofit loans to be repaid via electricity bills, and ties the loan to the house rather than householder. It will significantly reduce the risks of default, eventually allowing investment grade (climate) bonds to be issued against portfolios of these loans. It’s a model that will need to be adopted in other countries if we’re going to reduce emissions from the housing sector – but, it won’t by itself solve the problem of take-up. That’s the separate problem of ‘adoption’ (we’re working on it).

Life gets awfully lonely for those at the top. What can we do to let them know someone’s thinking of them? Maybe they need some new friends!

We’ve thought of two ways we can help them with that.

Occupy the Board Room

The Yes Labs being helpful for the Occupy Wall Street movement ;)

‘…What exactly are the policies of the Coalition, and would they work? After all, there’s been plenty of media scrutiny of the Government’s carbon tax. There’s been precious little on the Opposition’s own carbon policy, which it calls “Direct Action”, or the many sweeping statements on climate change and the carbon tax by Tony Abbott… The take-home message is simple. The Coalition’s plan is based on incomplete science, dubious economics and breath-taking political expediency. It will be hugely expensive. It won’t cut carbon emissions. It won’t even lead to lower taxes. And it will still introduce a shadow price for carbon…’ (via  The Drum Opinion)
