Without the buzzards and bees

Where would we bee?


A blog by Nicolle Kuna

A blog about sustainable landscaping and some eco-humour and eco-creativity.

Inside this blog we look at everything that is encroaching in to our natural urban landscapes – outdoor rooms (errchkem), weeds, urban noise, excess nutrientsThere’s a bit of art to add extra colour and inspiration. We believe in making sustainability fun - more gaming, less shaming.

Two years till new government ... what then?

We have two years to see what the Gillard government and the Greens can do with their range of environmental measures.

In two years, if there is a change of government the word 'sustainability' will not be so fashionable.  We might need to start talking more personal benefits such as health and budget if we want to raise the benefits of a true blue garden.  Strangely enough, it often goes hand in hand, that promoting sustainability and health and hip pocket go together.   It is all about prevention.

The Liberals will be all about promoting the building up big of outdoor spaces, as this involves more expenditure and is a great boon for industry.  Industry thrives om fashions.   The landscaping industry is a trillion dollar industry, so a lot of people are keen to see the growth of built up outdoors, rather than a few cubic metres of three way (soil) mix and some plants.

So come, two years time, I hope this blog will have had some impact! I truly do.
