I think that most of us care about our environment, even those climate change sceptics I don’t think want to ruin our environment but in most cases just put growth and wealth above everything else. Ross Gittins of the Sydney morning Herald gives us some good news in his article Economic growth doesn’t have to wreck environment.

He is pointing out that we have economic growth happening in Australia, which is good for us all, but at the same time our negative impact on our environment is improving – not disappearing but improving!

Official agency publication – economic growth doesn’t have to wreck environment

An official agency has published some good news on the subject just two weeks ago. The Australian Bureau of Statistics published its “Australian environmental-economic accounts” for 2015-16, which contained what certainly looks like good news, but interestingly it has attracted minimal interest from the media and environmental groups.

I’ve written a few blogs about how we Australians, some of the quickest in the world to adopt new technologies, are lagging behind when it comes to generating our own solar power. Is this another example of our apathy on the subject of increasing economic growth BUT at the same time caring for our environment and the future of our children and grandchildren?

I do care about our environment and this is a really good -news story.

Another good-news story would be the interest shown so far in the release of Australia’s first solar carport kits In just over a month, we have had over 63,000 hits on our website and many inquiries. Solar Carports are another small step in creating power for our future economic growth without destroying our environment in the process another pointer to the fact that economic growth doesn’t have to wreck environment.
