There is a book called 'The Vegetarian Myth' that debunks a lot of the supposed environmental benefits of vegetarianism. If people choose to be...
Seems like there is a lot of comparing apples and oranges (eg: talking about Mollison's work and industrial meat production in the same sentence)....
Looks great - it is the king of firewood down here, but I always thought it was very slow growing (Wikipedia tells me otherwise, however)
E.globulus is certainly doing well down here. I would like to find a fast growing species that doesn't mind getting wet feet though.
Sorry, he didn't get that specific
Blue gums and the various wattles. I am looking at building a rocket mass heater, so the supposed 'disadvantage' of wattles burning too hot and...
Thanks for the info guys. We had some severe flooding here in April (95% of the place underwater) and it showed which species of trees are going...

My thinking is that the lower limbs of some trees could be removed and others cut down to form glades, where the next generation could be planted....
Wow Markos, I'm not sure it would have been possible to answer such a question more comprehensively! I would certainly be well and truly under...
Mollison sounds like an entertainin' fella - can't wait! Reminds me of something Paul Wheaton said about how good and generous people are worn...
