Sunday Rant - Well put!

How did the uber-rich get that way?
Intelligence, talent, hard work or some other means?

You know I love a good rant on Sundays.  But I don't always feel in the mood.  Like today, for instance, it is sunny, I can hear my garden growing, the solar panels are ticking over, I have just enjoyed a couple of  scrambled eggs for brekkie, and I am having a second cup of tea while contemplating the rest of my day.

Then I found a post by George Monbiot, on the Permaculture Research Institute website.  It made me laugh...and cry at the same time.  

If you are in the mood to have your emotions tweaked, or are concerned about the inequalities in our world or the impact of big business on our planet...then I invite you to click below.  You will not be disappointed.

Saturday Ethics

" To achieve sustainable development and a higher quality of life for all people, states should reduce and eliminate unsustainable patterns of production and consumption..."

Principle 8, The Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, 1992

I found these great links on a wonderful blog entitled The Witches Kitchen.  

Apart from the Greenpeace list, these are all Australian sites.  Please do not disregard them if you are an overseas reader because they provide a lot of information about sustainability and ethical consuming.  

The Ethical Consumer Guide - an Australian site with lots of information about the whys and hows of ethical shopping. With the big two Supermarkets behaving even more badly than usual, this site is a wonderful resource.


Australia's Sustainable Seafood Guide - This is exactly what the name suggests with an online tool to assist you in making more sustainable seafood choices and lots of interesting information and links.

Thanks for all the fish - An ABC Science feature.
