Hi Carl
What if we ask Kev 07 or Al, his pal for some offset funding to build a
low carbon emitting yacht for Birding-aus members.. We could sail
around twitching pelagics with a wind generator charging our phone and
camera batteries, solar panels powering the tv, the beer fridge and of
course an electronic mulching toilet integrated with the vhf to help
broadcast our results.
No, we don't want trees, we want kelp. We could crew the boat with
vegans and other diverse humans who would live off kelp.. What do you
have if you mix carbon with kelp and cement it together with the waste
of a sequestrating vegan? Recycled carbon fibre to build a boat!. Yep,
all we need is vision, a capacity to brainstorm and understand the big
picture.
And at the end of the day if we want more funding, just create a
computer model based on our results and make up a few 50 year forecasts
of imminent extinctions and rising sea levels. Now where can i find an
accurate weather forecast for tomorrow?
Happy New Year and good birding

Dear All,
There has been a bit of discussion on the subject of carbon credit
schemes. In the latest issue of CSIRO journal, ECOS, there is a good
article on the subject which has confirmed some suspicions I have had
about some schemes. The article " Seeing the wood for the trees: what
to look for when purchasing carbon credits" the article can be read
on line or down-loaded at
