... when I cane across a flea market in a small neighbourhood and some people had a little makeshift box-table and were selling individual rusty nuts, bolts & so on. It did make a huge impression on me as I still think about it from time to time. At the time it made me wonder about poverty, nowadays about waste and what efficiency really means because it certainly ain't this speedy (literally) terra bruciata rush towards climate disaster ... #climatediary #waste #nonrenewbles

Kwinana council just signed off on an $80k feasibility study for FOGO, a scheme the council already voted down in 2023 because it was 'too expensive'. Since then, Kwinana's waste-to-energy plant came online, ending landfill dependence. But the State Government's unpassed waste strategy still lurks, so the council wants to 'be consistent'. That means paying for a study now, deciding later. $80k of your rates to hedge against a policy that might collapse when the government changes. Neighbouring Cockburn doesn't have FOGO; Rockingham's residents are already furious. This isn't evidence-based planning, it's risk management via consultancy. Send an email to your councillor: tell them to spend ratepayer money on services people actually need, not on studies to give themselves cover for a decision they've already made. #auspol #waste #council https://vic.fusionparty.org.au/policies/fund-the-outer-suburbs
