“How do we get public green roofs happening in Melbourne right away?”
“Phosphorus, essential for life, is such a rapidly diminishing resource that Australian taxpayers are funding research into collection of urine (rich in phosphorus) from the masses for recycling. The addition of fluoride, which cannot legally be dumped anywhere in the world on land or at sea, will pose a major barrier to phosphorus reclamation.

“What can we Melburnians do before the Earth Summit to ensure that real actions follow, not just agreements to more talking like those made at Cancun?”
“If the 1992 Rio Earth Summit had never occurred and we were to open the Melbourne Town Hall doors and walk outside , how different would Melbourne be from what is seen today...would we notice the change? ”
“Poor urban planning and rapid urbanisation is one of the biggest issues facing sustainability. if we want to be able to see the problem and measure the change over time, why don't we develop ten criteria to measure sustainability across each local government to make us aware and great positive change in our local community? If kids can see it visually then they will act and governments will need to make the change on a local level.”
