About

Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Or read just a little bit if that’s all you’ve got time for!

My blog started as a way to save you time by quickly summarising important news headlines from around the world. Every day we track down for you insightful and useful stories related to the environment, big business, globalisation, ethics, peak oil, climate change, the global financial crisis, pandemics, health & nutrition, community-building, inspirational individuals, organic & natural farming, backyard gardening and the looming challenges – and inspirational solutions – that will affect our friends, families, future generations and those in far off lands…

But the blog has morphed somewhat to also cover the things we’re up to as a family as we try to lighten out footprint, increase our knowledge and have a good time living the good life!

I hope our efforts will help you stay on top of the news that matters, and give you the information and ideas you need to be prepared and make a difference.  There’s so much to be said for being informed rather than ignorant, inspired rather than defeated. When you know what’s going on, you can decide what you can do about it!

Have a good one!
