Fresh green links

Unprotected Waters is a game from the Save Our Marine Life campaign. Help Sandy eat fish while avoiding the dangers; if you last long enough you get a bonus round in protected waters. I made it to 1 minute 32 seconds :)

Stop the Slapp – a site dedicated to helping the final 4 defendants of the Gunns 20 case, where Gunns is trying to sue people for protesting their actions. The trial starts next Tuesday. (via @Deskimo, a sustainable design business)

Pimp your street – New Zealand’s Good magazine has 21 tips for making your neighbourhood a friendlier, more sustainable place to live. (via @Richard_001, a UK guerrilla gardener)

Impossible Hamster – what if the global economy was a giant hamster? or: infinite growth on a finite planet. A silly and cute video on Treehugger, about the limits of growth in nature, with some interesting links in the article.

Australia loves winning environmental impact trophies – also at Treehugger. Highest per capita emissions, highest extinction rate for mammals, most time lost to economy by sitting in traffic jams… we’re number one!

Tests for effective climate policy (PDF) – the Australian Conservation Foundation lays out what we want our politicians to acheive when they go back to work on our climate policy this year.

Alarm at oil leak company’s bid – Remember that oil spill that took 3 months to clean up, and the rig exploded in flames? Yeah, the company is getting even more access to Australian waters.

Oh, and if you’re in Perth, tune in to 6PR between 1pm and 2pm on Saturday. I’ll be on their afternoon show, talking about greenwashing.

  • Good luck with the radio interview :-)

  • Thanks! This will be the third I’ve done, but I’ve been too shy to mention them until now. Which is lucky, because I wasn’t very good the first time :P But getting better with practice!
