Cleaning up some agribusiness farts: New Zealand's plan to tax cow and sheep burps wrote: New Zealand has unveiled a plan to tax sheep and cattle burps in a bid to tackle one of the country's biggest sources of greenhouse gases. Now we just need the rest of the world to follow that prime example, especially including for cattle... Cue yet more deadly unhealthy lobbying from the fast food industry such as McDonald's?... We really do need to get the polluters to pay at the source of their pollution.

Onto it in South Australia. ;-) SA Labor has announced a major power play, and it's all about using hydrogen for clean energy. |

Perhaps decommissioning nuclear power generation was not a good idea long-term: Germany will restart coal-fired power plants to replace Russian gas losses. |

Yes those nuke stations work well when properly monitored and maintained, but in some cases coal fired may just have to serve as a temporary solution for some countries sadly. :-( |

If you can't beat it then float on it. A floating city in the Maldives begins to take shape. A city is rising from the waters of the Indian Ocean. In a turquoise lagoon, just 10 minutes by boat from Male, the Maldivian capital, a floating city, big enough to house 20,000 people, is being constructed. |

The Dutch are past masters of building large floating communities, although most of theirs are in fresh water along rivers and canals that are prone to quite large seasonal fluctuations in level and velocity. This looks to be a far more sensible solution that the sand dunes constructed off the coast of Dubai (some of the latter are already suffering erosion after only a few years.)

Well it's a start anyway, not perfect, but a start. The world’s largest hybrid ship will set sail in 2024. French shipping company Brittany Ferries has commissioned the world’s largest hybrid ship for its future fleet, the company announced this week, marking another milestone in the industry’s route to decarbonization. The 639-foot Saint-Malo will be operational in 2024 and replace one of their older models on a route from St. Malo, France, to Portsmouth, England. A second hybrid ship will enter the fleet shortly thereafter. |

Another start has been made. California sets nation's toughest plastics reduction rules. Companies selling shampoo, food and other products wrapped in plastic have a decade to cut down on their use of the polluting material if they want their wares on California store shelves.But it could've been even better. |

My entire life I've never seen potato chips (crisps) packed in anything but a plastic bag. I simply can't imagine those greasy things in a paper bag. I guess now all there will be is baked flat mashed potato rounds so they can be uniform enough put in a tube. Yuck. |

And what sort of bag are you going to carry all that shopping home? Myths |

I have my bright orange reusable grocery bags and when they get damaged the supermarket across the road replaces them with a free of cost replacement while recycling the damaged job. |

And what sort of bag are you going to carry all that shopping home? Since they charge for bags here - new profit center for stores - I just drag the trolly full of stuff to the boot where I keep it full of the cartons the office copy paper comes in and drop it on in. One carton into the abode, unpack and carton back to the boot, grab the next. |

I used to use these in the boot (trunk) when shopping by car. Had 6 in the boot, unfold as required. Still got them, keeping my DVD.s organised. |

I have three sets of re-usable bags. A set of bag is: one big one, one medium sized one, and a bottle bag. Why three sets? One at home, just inside the front door - in theory this is the one I use when I go shopping.... One in the car, essential when I forget the one by the door One on the boat. They rotate around the three locations as I do forget to pick up a set when I head off shopping, or am carrying stuff to the boat. Then there's a few assorted cloth bags which get used as and when. Like Martin those "magnificent" charity bags get used as rubbish bags when needed (or as a poncho when needs must....)
