Numbats will be under serious threat of extinction if the WA Government is allowed to expand the native forest logging industry. RIght now loggers are unregulated, unaccountable and totally unconstrained by any endangered species legislation. Act now before it's too late and tell the EPA that the new Forest Management Plan must not allow the destruction of more numbat habitat http://ccwa.org.au/content/send-decs-shocking-logging-plan-back-drawing-...
John Garcia takes us on a journey with a pod of seals somewhere off the coast of WA.

In this video you can see the the impacts on thousands of Marri trees that have been poisoned by the state Government's logging agency, the Forest Products Commission.
Mature Marri trees are a keystone species in the SouthWest biodiversity hotspot, and provide a critical food source and nesting hollows for Western Australia's endangered cockatoos. The Marri trees also provide homes for a wide variety of other native animals.
Older birds generally know to avoid almond trees, so these birds must really be starving.
CoCa-Cola is responsible for introducing single-use containers and closing down recycling programs all over Australia with their deceptive campaigns against recycling refund schemes on drink containers.
A recycling refund scheme is used in many countries where consumers or charity groups return beverage containers to convenient sites and collect a 10 cent deposit on each container. This system has existed since the 1970s in South Australia and is currently being introduced in the Northern Territory.
This video, which was entered into the recent CCWA Environmental Art Awards, shows why just about everything we throw away could have another life ahead of it.
'Re-Thinking Progress' explores how through a change in perspective we can re-design the way our economy works - designing products that can be 'made to be made again' and powering the system with renewable energy. It questions whether with creativity and innovation we can build a restorative economy.
You can help reinvent how we view waste in Western Australia by registering your support for a 10c Recycling Refund Scheme for cans and bottles.
