Agritech Smartwater, 6/439 Albany Hwy, Victoria Park, WA, 6100, Australia; Tel.: (08) 9470 4334 - Fax: (08) 9470 6640, www.agritech smartwater. com.au . This group, whose website states comprises of 27 of the State's best scientists, engineers, and academics, has a proposal to initially re-treat the saline scour water from the Wellington Dam (in the Collie region), currently wasted to the sea, to supply 45 gigalitres of fresh drinkable water without any power requirement. A reverse osmosis plant near Brunswick Junction would remove salt from some of the water. The bulk of the water would go through a hydro-electric power station that would provide the power required, and have surplus power for the State electricity grid. Save Aus$500m plus. Also see next entry. (The Sunday Times TV Guide, page 21, April 29-May 5, 2007, and webpages sighted Apr 30, 2007.)
Agritech Hydropower, 6/439 Albany Hwy, Victoria Park, WA, 6100, Australia; Tel.: (08) 9470 4334 - Fax: (08) 9470 6640, www.agritech- hydropower. com.au . This group, whose website states comprises of 27 of the State's best scientists, engineers, and academics, has three proposals to remove saline ground water from the Wheatbelt to the top of the Darling Scarp, and to use this water to generate clean, green, renewable hydro-electrict power. Part of this water can be treated by reverse osmosis using the fall of the hills, removing most need four outside power. This would provide up to 250 gigalitres of fresh clean water for the State annually. An extract:

   In brief, the Agritech Hydropower proposals relate to three major projects, covering the Blackwood, Murray and Avon Catchments. These areas contain most of WA's salinity problem, which totals some 2.2m hectares of lost land. The State is losing land at the rate of 11.4 hectares per hour. Nearly every river, stream and lake in the wheatbelt has become saline.
   The Blackwood, Murray and Avon rivers were seen as potable sources of water for the South West of the State. The Blackwood River is now discharging more salt at its mouth than the mighty Murray-Darling system.
   Finally, Agritech Smartwater and Agritech Hydropower collectively believe these projects to be far better and a more viable solution for the provision of potable water for Perth and environs than to resort to expensive seawater reverse osmosis desalination or risking our precious groundwater aquifers.

PRACTICAL ENVIRONMENTALISM - ACTIONS, EQUIPMENT, Sustainable Development

Energy-efficient housing. The main features of energy-efficient housing relate to:

Building orientation [which way it faces]

Internal room layout.

Window placement, sizing, and shading.

Use of insulation.

Ventilation.

Draught-proofing.

Use of heat-absorbing building materials.

Landscaping.

Use of energy-efficient appliances.
   Orientation: If possible, in the south-west of Western Australia have the north and south facing walls about 1.5 to 2.0 times the length of the other walls.
   True north is the ideal orientation for windows. However, windows oriented approximately 20 degrees east or west of true north will still allow good sun entry in winter, and if eaves are designed correctly, will exclude most of the direct summer sun.
   Arrange indoor living and entertaining rooms to the north, and bedrooms to the south. Doors are better than arches, to allow more efficent and cheaper heating and cooling. By grouping together rooms that use hot water (kitchen, laundry, bathroom) less heat is lost from hotwater pipes.
   A louvred "solar pergola" can be arranged to let winter sun in, and to exclude direct beams from the summer sun.
   Double-glazed windows (glass separated by 10mm) can greatly cut heating costs. Concrete floors are recommended.
   (And on the 8-page leaflet went with excellent suggestions.)
   The "Energy efficient housing" leaflets of the W.A. Sustainable Energy Development Office were distributed by a voluntary group at the Sustainable Lifestyle fun day at Jubilee Park, City Beach (Perth beachside suburb) on Sunday, March 18, 2007. [Mar 18, 07]

Modern Cloth Nappies. What Makes a Good Nappy? A good nappy catches all of baby's output, keeps his or her skin dry and stops anything from leaking onto clothes or Mum and Dad! Cloth nappies can do all this and more...
   Modern cloth nappies have come a long way since the days of terry toweling squares and safety pins. These days cloth nappies come in a wide range of materials and styles to suit all bottoms and budgets - and the best part is, they're simple to use and they care for baby and the environment.
   Modern cloth: What's New?
   COVERS: Gone are the days of sweaty PVC covers! Improved materials are used today (including polar fleece, nylon, wool and Polyurethane Laminates or PUL) that are easy to maintain and keep waste products in while allowing your baby's skin to breathe. Modern covers can either be pull-up or use fasteners such as hook & loop (e.g. Velcro®) or snaps, and are an unbeatable companion to any modern cloth nappy.
   LINERS: These can act as an extra line of defence in any cloth nappy. The most versatile liners today are made of microfleece - an inexpensive material that is durable and easy to clean (you can even purchase the material and cut it yourself - no sewing required!). Alternatively you may choose a biodegradable or flushable liner. Liners help to keep baby dry and make disposing of solid waste far easier. -- www.modern clothnappies. org , wa@modern clothnappies. org [In 2008, the "Perth Sun Fair" will held at UWA, April 6.] [Leaflet obtained at Sun Festival, UWA, April 9, 2006]

RESISTANCE BY MILLIONAIRE DICK SMITH, see website at http://www.dicksmithfoods.com.au/ which gives as its mission statement: "Dick Smith Foods will support:
* Products which are Australian grown or made (as this employs Australian workers)
* Products which are produced by Australian owned businesses (as the profits will stay here and benefit Australia)
* Companies which act responsibly and pay the correct taxes in Australia (as this increases national wealth)
* Australian owned companies which operate in a highly ethical manner
Our plan is to create an Australian food company which aligns with these views and benefits our country. In general our plans are that, after full company taxes have been paid, one-third of the profit will be donated to charitable and other important causes and one third will be ploughed back into the company to assist in ongoing viability." (Inserted 31 May 2001). In 2005 he decided to offer shares in this company on the open market.
THE SIMULTANEOUS POLICY (Simpol) at http://www.simpol.org/ says: "The principal barrier to the implementation of any significant measure to improve today's economic, environmental or social problems, ... is competition. Global de-regulated capital flows and corporations know no national boundaries and by their ability or threat to move elsewhere, force nations to compete with one another for capital, jobs (and therefore votes) and ever scarcer natural resources.
Global financial markets have engineered strong leverage over the economic, social and environmental policies adopted by any country ensuring that only market and corporate-friendly policies are pursued - regardless of the party in power. The result is the strangle-hold of pseudo-democracy in which, whatever party we elect, the policies delivered remain substantially the same."
The aim is to get reformers all around the world to ask politicians everywhere for similar reforms to turn back the attack. The first three reforms are:
1.1: Re-regulation of global financial markets with the objective of bringing about far greater stability and making the global financial system 'safe' for further changes to be applied to it. Such measures would probably include the Tobin Tax and measures to abolish all tax havens and other means of avoiding tax. Regulations covering corporate 'transfer pricing' would also probably form a part of such measures.
1.2: The complete cancellation of Third World Debt.
1.3: Stabilisation is also required in politics. Measures would be implemented to abolish political funding of any kind by business in order to restore independence and public accountability with funding coming instead from public funds on an equitable basis.

SIMPOL AUSTRALIA: www.simpol- oz.org . International Simultaneous Policy. "The Simultaneous Policy" aims to deliver social justice around the world, resolve global problems like environmental destruction and regulate the economic power of international capital for the good of all. Simpol seeks solutions to problems that individual national governments cannot resolve by acting alone. Simpol aims to achieve these objectives by encouraging ordinary people around the world to oblige their political representatives and governments to move toward co-ordinated international resolution of global issues for the good of all. Simultaneous implementation of such policies would ensure that no country became uncompetitive as a result of pursuing policies that were right for the planet and which embodied people¹s higher aspirations.

Opposing Globalization Could Justify Resource-Based Basic Income: by Mary Lehmann, mlehm@ibm.net, at the seventh international conference of Basic Income European Network (B.I.E.N.), 10-12 September 1998, Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Environmental and human rights organizations understandably regard as disastrous the "globalization" or breaking down of barriers protecting a country's culture and resources that its people want protected. This paper proposes incorporating Basic Income into a stable system that can limit unwanted globalization by giving all citizens shares in the income from natural resources, notably land. These "land-shares" would be converted legally to the status of an individual's beneficial interest in a trust. The Trust would enforce environmental standards on behalf of its beneficiaries rather than relying on environmental or social laws of governments, against which international trade lawsuits can be filed. The paper will also look at stable systems and show how using the trade exchange could amplify the Basic Income and stabilize the local economy. Read more at: http://dieoff.org/page152.htm

   "Biodiesel," by Martin Oliver (of Lismore, NSW), Living Now, pp 4-5, May 2006. "In 1895, when Dr. Rudolf Diesel designed his first eponymous engine, it was intended to run on vegetable oil." (As most people know, nearly all diesels run on fossil-fuel diesel, cheaper to refine than petrol, but in Australia at least now being sold at petrol's prices, while oil companies make super-profits.)
   The huge increase in petrol prices means that biodiesel is of interest yet again. Grabbing mineral oil is one of the aims of the Khartoum regime in the Sudan, as they use official and unofficial means to displace the black farming communities to the south and the west (Darfur). Efforts by massive corporations, and others, to produce bio fuels include an attempt to push a highway through the wilds of the Yasuni National Park in the Ecuadorian Amazon.
   The Australian government has placed an excise tax on bio fuel, and other laws insist on a whole set of safety and purity requirements.

The Big Issue No 233 front cover, with reference to "Jihad Jack" Thomas article, July-Aug 2005

Mr Thomas writes that his elder brother Jack, who converted to Islam nine years ago,went off with his Indonesian-born Muslim wife and their baby daughter to visit Pakistan and Afghanistan to see for himself what an Islamic society was like, with the idea of working for an ideal Muslim state. He didn't believe the Taliban regime in Afghanistan was barbaric. He learnt in Pakistan that many people were being shipped off to Guantanamo Bay or worse. On January 2003, using his own passport in his own name, he was arrested at Karachi airport, and was held without charge, although interrogated by United States and Australian agents. Five months of incarceration ended in being allowed to return to Melbourne. On November 18, 2004, police came crashing though the front door of his rented house with machine guns and barking dogs. The mass media's cameras were there. To make contact, ring Les on 0409 399 429 or e-mail info@justice4jack.com (Tel and e-mail found on WWW 17 Sep 05)

IRAQ WAR

YELLOW TIMES, Censored pictures of U.S. prisoners in Iraq. The U.S. authorities "requested" that the pictures be removed from www.yellowtimes. org/article.php? sid=1199 , and the internet service provider acted, resulting in the whole website being closed down. The alternative website address is below. The few pictures are harmless, except to certain U.S. leaders with a "supremacist" mentality. The headings on the affiliate website are: "Scoop Images: U.S. POWs Shown On Al Jazeera TV; Monday, 24 March 2003, 10:06 am; Article: YellowTimes.org. " www.scoop.co.nz/ mason/stories/ HL0303/ S00212.htm
The polite message on the real YellowTimes website does not give the full story, but is possibly to be expected. On 26 March 2003 all that could be seen on the homepage was: "Welcome to YellowTimes.org. Currently our site is down while we upgrade our servers. Please check back in a few days. Thank you. YellowTimes.org" To see why they were shut down, supposedly for an hour, around 24 March YellowTimes had suggested clicking www.yellowtimes. org/article.php ?sid=1204 . To explain why they had decided to show these pictures early Sunday morning before they were up elsewhere, they recommended visiting this URL: www.yellowtimes. org/article. php?sid=1203 . These webpages could not be found, generating an error 404, around 6pm on 26 Mar 03

YELLOWCAKE FORGERY ENDORSED BY BRITAIN AND U.S., exposed 13 days before Iraq was attacked by three nations. NEW YORK: President [George W.] Bush cited a uranium deal, along with the aluminum tubes, in his State of the Union Message, on January 28th, while crediting Britain as the source of the information. The official line was that Saddam Hussein's dictatorship in Iraq was trying to build nuclear bombs. Officials had been told that the C.I.A. had recently received intelligence showing that, between 1999 and 2001, Iraq had attempted to buy five hundred tons of uranium oxide from Niger. A headline in the British Guardian declared, "African gangs offer route to uranium." On March 7th, Mohamed ElBaradei, the director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, in Vienna, told the U.N. Security Council that the documents involving the Niger-Iraq uranium sale were fakes. One senior I.A.E.A. official said, "These documents are so bad that I cannot imagine that they came from a serious intelligence agency. It depresses me, given the low quality of the documents, that it was not stopped. At the level it reached, I would have expected more checking." One letter, dated October 10, 2000, was signed with the name of Allele Habibou, a Niger Minister of Foreign Affairs and Coöperation, who had been out of office since 1989.

Editor: Jeffery J. Smith. There are references to the corruption of governments by the privileged groups. Quote: "Russians feel uneasy about the commoditizing of their land.

Whether feeling sated or remorseful, or just positioning himself to run for the presidency, in the Kremlin he told our cohorts, Drs. Mason Gaffney, Fred Harrison, and Nic Tideman ... , that he supports plans to tap land rent for public revenue. On [a] sound moral footing, Russia would be again a superpower." (Comment by John Massam 1 May 1999: Is this the same Chernomyrdin who around 30 April 1999 went to Yugoslavia to talk about peace for Kosovo, where murder (i.e., ethnic cleansing) proceeds while NATO bombs Kosovo, Montenegro, and Serbia?)
