Hi Colin and others,
Here is a link to a you tube anti-spraying video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWZwRy2WpaQ
The relevant web site is
www.savethelocust.com
Another approach is to eat the locusts.
Hear all about it on Radio National's Bush Telegraph.

Hi
Does anyone have any idea of the impact of spraying thousands of litres
of poison on 6 trillion grasshoppers? Should we be concerned? It maybe a
really naive question to which the only answer may be "of course we
freaking should be!!" but I'm curious - does anyone know anything about
the chemicals that will/are being used? Everyone seems to be casually
planning this but there doesn't seem to be any opinions re any possible
damage to the environment or the wildlife. I know the farmers are God
Almighty here and the economy certainly would take a hit if the crops
were decimated, but I'd be interested to know what the 'side effect'
damage might
be....
