Beautiful walk this morning on Ugarapul land at Nugum (White Rock), a sacred site culturally known as a Women's area. I packed a bag in my backpack for rubbish and the most incredibly wonderful thing happened! I didn’t even need it :)

I don’t normally discriminate…but I did today….I chose which pieces of rubbish I’d pick up, and left the others as only had one bag 😬 I’ll collect the rest tomorrow! Why?? I’m pitching in the Battle of the Founders event tonight! What is in the bag? I’ll unveil during the pitch!!

Art and Environment to open people's mind on the impact of waste fields. Currently displayed at the Tate Modern in London, UK: El Ejido (2017), the verges of a Spanish highway strewn with plastic waste stretch into the distance. Depicting 30 years of global capitalism and mass consumerism, the photographs of Andreas Gursky sometimes make for uncomfortable viewing. In many ways, the photographs of Andreas Gursky are a mirror for the modern globalised world. At times the reflection which stares back at us is not flattering: an uncompromising representation of consumerist greed and its detrimental impact on the natural world. You rarely forget your first encounter with a Gursky photograph, stretching to up to 13 feet long, crammed with hyper-real detail and saturated in vivid colour. His images are typically densely filled, populated with hundreds of faceless people or depicting limitless quantities of stuff. Likened to the dynamic drip paintings of Jackson Pollock, Gursky’s images are often evenly covered in an ‘all-over composition’, entirely in focus and without any apparent structure. ‘What I create is a world without hierarchy, in which all the pictorial elements are as important as each other’, the artist explains: the democratisation of every pixel. Many of Gursky’s images represent the impact of mass consumerism on the environment and the colonisation of the natural world. See attached picture.

There’s always a bunch of rubbish caught up in bushes at Dovetree. And plenty of litter. Got a bag full today 💖

Here is a green wall near the UQ Atrium. Not much insect life sadly. But potential! Better than nothing.

I’m here with Liz and Sarah at QTFN discussing the power of connecting people and businesses to do great things for biodiversity

Walking and swimming at Naish beach, free from any kind of waste. No doubt, the solidarity and awareness established by the locals and the council played a part in keeping the landscape in its beautiful habitat.

Cleaned up the rubbish swept into the basin in the last rain, some 203 pieces. The young trees are growing well ❤️😊

I watered the biobasin trees and planted a bottlebrush. Noticed lots of rubbish, will pick up next visit.

Earlier this month I was walking through the car park and noticed multiple bits of rubbish scattered across the floor and decided to clean it up.

If you are interested in planting native Australian trees, Trees R Us in Gympie have a huge range and the beautiful girls there know exactly what they are talking about. At the Environtech Expo organised by the Gympie Council next to the Pumped Hydro stall were two Gorgeous Gympie Girls from Natives R Us. They brightened everyone's day with their pink tops, gum boots nails, knowledge of native plants and their bag of goodies. As well as information about which plants attract bees and a little plant to keep, was a little bag of dried lemon myrtle and a recipe for Lemon Myrtle Biscuits. I love to bake so this was perfect for me. I made Lemon Myrtle Flower and Butterfly Biscuits for my work colleagues. Can we applaud the Pink Gympie Girls at Natives R Us, share and pay them a visit?

A reminder of the importance of planting trees!
