Wow, at last real moves to start managing climate change in the US! Their House of Representatives passed their renewable energy bill. This is a huge step to going green but I guess the negative campaigns will really turn on before their Senate vote.
It is now time for us all to step up and start going green... AND this is where I help. Going green in YOUR BUSINESS will save you money and a well planned slimline ISO 14001 saves even more because of the efficiency and risk reduction that you build in.
And for a few more days now you can save even more than usual.............
............. because I still have a FEW clearance sale versions of ISO 14001 Do-It-Yourself training going for a ridiculously low price of $330 +gst and even if you choose to book an occasional half hour coaching with me you will still be way out on top. There is one quality module and a few safety modules also at A$99. Fax your order to 1300 88 2283 Don’t take too long deciding because you will miss out.
Or you may choose the coached training and join the group doing ISO 14001 scheduled to start in the week beginning 20th July. Phone me on 1300 88 3646 to make a time to discuss this with me if you are wondering how it will help you.
Either way you will find that going green saves
Kindest Regards Jean Cannon

Would you believe that it is the auditing process? Yes – because this forces continual improvement. No one is perfect and a collection of well meaning people in a business are most unlikely to be perfect BUT if the business is ISO certified, mistakes are taken seriously, they examine WHY the mistake was possible and how to prevent it happening again. They don’t just patch it up and patch it up again the next time, and the next time. Then every 6 to 12 months an auditor walks in to check if they do what they says they do and he keeps asking questions like –“well, show me….”.................
The US House of Representatives has just voted on clean energy and climate legislation. Thank goodness say most of the world! However it has really brought out the sceptics, ultra conservatives and general loopies in force.
There are two types of sceptics (or skeptics):
- The ultra conservatives who hate change even more than the rest of us and
- The geologists whose research is largely funded by the mining and especially the coal and oil industry and we need to remember that geologists are trained to look DOWN at the soil, earth’s crust and BACK to the past and atmospheric physicists look UP at the atmosphere and at what is happening NOW and in the future.
They have totally different training and most actually have less in common than a gynaecologist and a dentist and you would not dream of mixing those to groups of medical professionals up. .......
The biggest breakthrough in improving human health has been providing drinking water that has been separated from waste water. There are nasties in the gut that we do not want to circulate in our drinking water. Checking that our drinking water is clean and safe to drink has been mainly by checking on the presence or absence of E. coli but has now been superseded by a preventive risk management approach. Water shortages and a need to use recycled water has prompted a big push to improve the tools needed to ensure our drinking water is safe................
Research commissioned by the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, studied the impact of higher energy costs from the planned Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme on a sample of Small to Medium Enterprises (SME’s) in the food processing, plastics and chemicals, and machinery and equipment manufacturing industries.
Big surprise! What they forgot t mention is that SME's can reduce their expenses by reducing their wasted carbon. The report found that the Australian emissions trading scheme could eat into the profits of small and medium businesses and may force owners to axe jobs. “The concern is that as energy costs go up profitability declines, business will look at what areas they can make savings in terms of their expenses, and..............
Geologist Ian Plimer has labelled climate change theory an “ascientific, urban, religious, fundamentalist movement” promoted by academics and activists who would be “unemployable outside taxpayer-funded climate institutes”.
Plimer says that climate change has become the "new Western religion" with the elements of failed European socialism and Christianity and it imposes guilt on the community, creates a fear of damnation, demands appeasement by selling indulgences to the faithful, ignores any contrary information, demonises dissenters.” This all sounds a bit UGH to me............ And Senator Feilding says that temperatures are not rising!
Tasmania is the world’s largest producer of legally grown opium for the pharmaceutical market. About 500 farmers grow the crop supplying the market with about 50 per cent of the world’s raw material for morphine and related opiates.
The problem is that wild life and sometimes sheep get into the paddocks growing the opium poppies and eat poppy heads. All walk round in circles but wallabies,..............
