Climate change is the most widespread & complex problem humanity has ever faced! There is no time to waste and we need to turn green talk into profound green action. This is the intention of the GREEN TIMES.

A global ban on fracking

November 4, 2011 Leave a Comment

a-global-ban-on-frackingHydraulic Fracturing, commonly known as Fracking, is a highly controversial method of extracting oil and gas from existing, redundant and new wells. Drilling has begun in an unregulated frenzy from USA, China and now heading for gas-rich Europe and other countries around the world. The environment and human health is at very serious and potential risk if this method of extracting gas is not stopped.

1. Fracking is not a ‘Green’ technology. It’s cheaper to produce gas using this method, hence ‘More Profit.’

2. Major environmental disasters have already proved our point.

3. Fracking is against our basic human rights for access to clean and fresh water supplies.

5. The world’s human and animal rights to clean and fresh WATER are at RISK.

6. New information shows a direct link between earthquakes and fracking.

Please get yourself informed and invite your friends to join this cause and the push towards a cleaner, safer and healthier world.

Tree Works

In Rutland Ave Craighall Park over 30 dead and dying trees line the street. All killed by the borer or dying because of it. The posters on the trees , with reference numbers from City Parks indicate that they were reported to City Parks in August 2018. I was told in a meetimg at city parks head office last year April that they had a 30 day turn around time on dead trees! Doesn't seem to be the case here.

But don't worry, MMC Sifumba and City Parks say its "too early to declare the borer a disaster"

I wonder what the public think of this?
