An Australian community for everything from your backyard to beyond the black stump.

Topics may include Aussie plants and animals, environmental, farming, energy, and climate news and stories (mostly Aus specific), etc. New related communities will be split off when required, think like subcommunities that exist on that other platform.

Trigger Warning: Community contains mostly bad environmental news (not by choice!). Community may also feature stories about animal agriculture and/or meat. Until tagging is available, please be aware and click accordingly.

The planet's wealthiest people are putting Earth on a countdown to extinction. Wealth inequality is a global crisis and taxing the super-rich is a pathway to saving the planet from environmental catastrophe, writes Robert Gordon.

We can save the small remaining part of nature which can be saved and make Australia egalitarian again, by taxing the rich according to Northern European norms (inheritance and wealth taxes) and raising welfare support by 60% to the OECD average.

Red meat production is causing environmental pollution and global warming.

Great big new wealth and inheritance taxes. Intelligent, humane people would plan for the planet to thrive for a few more million years.

Destroying humans' only home just so you can hoard more wealth than you will ever need.. honestly it seems like a mental illness.

If these people were destroying their own home to hoard newspapers we would see it for what it is, but because of the scale, we can't.
