Here's my 2 cents worth! :)

'Can Salt Salinity effect me ?'

"Around 2 million hectares (5 million acres) of land is now officially salt-affected, half of that in southwest Western Australia". Environmentaly its catastrophic..... Less rain, more salt etc.. For anyone to think that spending money on the problems of Salt Salinity is not good for Australia needs a little education upon our water crisis. It is all well linked if we all take the time to understand our eco systems, that they are more real than money itself.

Because we all believe and work within a Monetary system of which there is an accepted ideology that money is the first thing that will effect 'me' and should be placed 1st.
Though I don't understand this view, because it is effecting the bottom dollar within our Monetary Systems anyway.
Eg.
"salination is turning once productive farmland into lifeless dirt tracts and threatening the country's A$30 billion ($22 billion) agriculture export industry, one of the biggest in the world."

Farmers are terrified of the salt, which cuts land values by one-third and reduces output.

But Australia is far from getting the messasge with Hegemonic Masculinity at the forefront of our society. Take away Japan's vast technology and imagine Australia was more advanced than Japan at present, we would still be way behind is saphistication. THis is due to the way we treat each other and the way we label people as 'Greenies' which from a Hegemonic Masculinity domination in our society makes it 'bad' to care about our environment, like many of us label gay and lesbians. So knowing that greenies are then disadvantaged, they seem to have more guts than any Hegemonic ideals.

"The most celebrated win so far is the reversal of salinity in Australia's biggest river, the Murray, through a combination of engineering works and management of water flows. A national tree-planting campaign is being accompanied by the use of salt-tolerant plants to combat growth of desertification."
