Park Being Poisoned
SAVE BRESSINGTON PARK! RALLY TODAY at 3pm. Without community consent Strathfield Council has commenced poisoning the grass on 8 hectares of sporting fields and open green space to be razed for commercial development. #sosgreenspaces
Tune In This Afternoon
TUNE IN EVERY MONDAY AFTERNOON! This week Oz Harvest's Ronni Kahn talked about her innovative new rescued food market on TEC's weekly green radio program on 89.7fm. TEC's director Jeff Angel also discussed Malcom Turnbull's big headache - the Adani mine!
TEC BEING EFFECTIVE
A rare glimpse of TEC at work - every day we toil behind the scenes to push for policy enlightenment on behalf of our trees, resources and wild life. But we usually can't take a photo of meetings like these!
Stop the Carnage
A massive wave of tree clearing is threatening the future of our koalas, and other wildlife right now, because of new land clearing laws passed by the NSW Government. But together we can ACT NOW to tell Premier Berejiklian this must stop - or koalas will continue to die. We've created a letter you can send her....
The Trees Are Listening!
Even without using a "brain", new research indicates that plant intelligence rivals that of humans. (And let's face it we don't use ours as much as we should). On Monday Drive this week we chatted with Dr Monica Gagliano, about how plants don't like noise pollution anymore than we do.
The Power of Green Spaces
You can get that holiday feeling any time if you have access to a green space. We collected some facts about the practical gifts of verdant sanctuaries, and selected some TEC staff favourites from the Easter Break.
Decarbonise Or Perish
Parts of Australia will become unliveable in our lifetime, unless the Australian government fully embraces renewable energy and we decarbonise our energy supply, said leading scientists this week. TEC has been arguing the same point for years!
Myopic Transport Planning Shakes Public Trust
Bad for our health. Bad for Business. TEC has called out the NSW government's record of destroying parks, bushland and recreational areas across NSW by directing major infrastructure funding towards toll roads rather than into sustainable public transport projects.
Talented Turtles
Would you believe the health of our rivers is seriously threatened by the decline of our freshwater turtle populations? Like all our native species they've evolved as the housekeepers of our ecosystems, and they keep the water fresh and clean.
TEC Tackles Plastic Food Wrapping
Today we worked with SMH to expose massive plastic packaging abuse in supermarkets, highlighting “Marketing Gone Mad”. By applying pressure to retailers, we can end this deadly pollution killing marine life, contaminating our human food chain and wasting resources.
