got that covered...

Hell I've even seen mechanics diagnosing engines without having to first plug it into a computer...

Must spend your life in the pollution haze. Peter Garrett is the Minister for School Education Early Childhood and Youth, and has been for quite some time.

I'm convinced that instead of there being some apocalyptic environmental collapse, things will become harder to get and we'll just have to go back to the way they lived in the old days, making do with less.

I wonder if you asked the old lady that if all of the goodies we have today were available back when......
Would she use it with glee or would she say no, I know what she would do, regards Frank.

I am one and they have done wonders reapiring the pannels of pre 1940's cars.
There was not a body filler back then just the art of the hammer and the know how..........
I remember the age of the ice box and the car pulled by horses delivering ice to all the houses in the district.
Bugger I am old!!!!! but I made it :D

What the??

Don't veggies come from crops and agricultural land??

Besides, if we all became vegetarians, what would happen to all the Cows, Sheep, Pigs, and Chooks?? Those poor, delicious, tasty, Cows, Sheep, Pigs, and Chooks.

I don't understand the questions you're asking here. Garrett has no role in environmental issues in the govt, so obviously he's not going to be out spruiking environment.

Are you suggesting that because he's not talking about the environment, the ethical positions he has been crystal clear about for 30 years are now a forgotten whim?

really?

not even going to waste my time

and it was the way the land was cleared.
almost nothing was spared...
only vast treeless crops remain.
along with salinity, topsoil erosion from wind and water run-off, invasive weeds and under preforming crops.
would hardly call that clever farming...
