What more can I say!

Just because a certain group of people ignore a changing climate doesn’t stop it from changing! We need to ensure there is still focus on the roll out of a Net Zero future, so what is everyone doing?

Following up on the previous chart - is there any correlation between number of cars versus GDP and vehicle cost? What do you think?

Correlation of how many cars are own per population in regard to model share - clearly show that more cars owned less modal share. Is this a chicken and the egg result, or does increased modal choice decrease the need for cars?

Interesting graph on how many kilometres each nation travels per day (miles conversion divide by 1.6) - goes to show what energy is required to meet this need - Australia would need approx 18-20kWh to meet this need. -More of these graphs are included in ‘Net Zero Suburbia’.

Here is an interesting graph about nations electricity generation that I have included in my recent book ‘Net Zero Suburbia’ that demonstrates how we can get achieve this promise!

Our cities and the world we live in are getting hotter—a fact that is indisputable. However, in all honesty, every year future heat records are likely to be continuously broken as there is no sign of the temperatures reversing. What are you going to do about it?

The free market was meant to break down the oppression of the ruling elite, empower ingenuity to create products that would drive wealth for citizens instead of the few, and fulfill the promise of human endeavour. What happened?

Enough of politicians lying once they get elected. Qld Premier pledged not to build new Olympic stadium before election - now backtracks! It’s time we made sure he is a one term Premier and hold all parties and politicians accountable for their broken promises. amp.abc.net.au/article/1049...

Being a good citizen is being kind and supportive to your friends - not asking what’s in it for me. If you are in trouble and your so-called friend throws a life-line with strings attached - time to get new friends. Doesn’t matter if it’s in the school yard or country to country.

It’s a chicken and the egg conundrum- it’s left me scratching my brain trying to work it out! Anyone guess which came first and why?

Friday funnies! As an Australian, I really appreciate this! - we all need to laugh in today’s world.

We all go through periods when we doubt ourselves- I have, but it’s how we come out the other side and acknowledge that we are actually ok! Read my article about how I dealt with doubts about my creative nature! www.40city.com/articles/cre... #creativity #design

Should EV’s pay a travel tax. The Australian Government is considering implementing a national road user charge for electric vehicles (EVs) to compensate for declining fuel excise revenues - is this fair and equitable?
