I reckon we agree Popnperish but I reckon by then the Sustainable Population Lobby will have put Sandra Kanck tablets in the water so that when you feel the urge to have sex, you'll simply ejaculate meaningless policy statements.

Great article - and a pertinent example of the throw-away mentality pervading all corners of our society.

What's wrong with Creedence Clearwater Revival?

Valerie;

...You failed to mention the biggest waste of all in your article, housing. According to the ABS, 36% of the Australian housing stock is a one person household: That in a period when over 100 thousand people in Australia are homeless. The Bolshevists dealt with similar waste effectively in 1917 Russian revolution by appropriation. It was unpopular of course, but gave all a home in which to live!

...Not of course suggesting all single households should be appropriated, but wouldn’t it be sensible if Governments could deal with the dispossessed prior to society falling into riot mode

Yes, what with peak oil & everything, I think we should go for sustainability. I really do, but only after I'm too old to play with my old cars. It should start then.

Valerie, the same peak oil will take care of your plastic bowls, & plastic food, too. Meals on wheels will have to be a bit more local, with no petrol, Oh & will need a change of name. How about meals on hooves.

You'll probably be lucky to get a sandwich, nothing frozen, with wind power only running for a couple of hours a day, freezers will be out.

Your sanger will be wrapped in last weeks newspaper, just like our fish & chips were, when we were all a bit tougher, [& happier].

Hopefully the horse won't smell all those sandwiches through the chaff bag they are being carried in, or they may go missing.

Glad you are getting some help. My mum had showering help, although I provided the meals. I never could come to grips with showering my mum, even when she was in her 90s. That was her fault of course, she's the one who brought me up to be a bit of a prude.

Hasbeen....What ever floats your mate! The same mirror will be waiting for you as well:) and somewhere there's a fair go for all Australians.......I wonder what primitivism of gov said that?

I guess not all the fish you scale, can be something you can eat:")

LEAP:)
