There are some things I would like to talk about in my reflection, what I have learn in this project,   

what do I think about this: is it really helpful or not and what do I hope for in my future.

Firstly, I fine the way to work in a small group, something we disagree a lot but finally we all can figure

out together and work on it. I am quite happy to work in a group because we can share information

together, discuses the problem together, talking, drinking and eating together, it just like we are trying and

learning how to be together as a good team. I learn a lot something which we work together and I am

very glad that we can be YA team. On the other and, I learn a lot about my project when I first time got

our brief I though this will be very boring subject but in end I found I am quite happy that I learn more

about my home, my country and my earth. I found it is very useful value for our future we figure out how

can we help our earth by simple and how do we communicate to other people. Also I lean more about

SAVE and RECYCLE those things I am not very care before, but nowadays I realize that small things

can also be powerful.

Educated your children why we recycling !

Also it is a short film that how people can do in supermarket.

A very short cartoon that tell us What is mean by Global Warming in very very funny way, so we are thinking maybe we can make a short flsh that can tell our children how can we help our earth!!

I found that must children are clear about recycle and why people recycle! of course Global Warming, they were all quite understanding what is Global Warming.

*Provocation > Disuission > $ invest get the most out of that

*Consult > Scary,shut down, time faec on, The out come if not change

, subjective, peope forget the consultation.

*What kind of relationship between you and the lecture

*Client

 WHAT AM I THNK

I think Consultation it’s a hard topic for myself

because i am very shy to talk with people in English.

Becoz there are many resons. sigh……..

Also, Sometime i dont believe consultation is important for us, because

sometime, after you talk people still can not telling your answer.

It is really really annoyed.

…sitting here thinking of catching zzz’s on the holiday, i wanted
to add a few remarks to adam and Lan’s “barbeque stoppers” – rather
than talk about the content and process of the commdesign program,
i’d like to address *this conversation itself*, and the arena it is
held in.

firstly, Lan – well done! this kind of public discourse has been a
while coming in this arena and i’m not alone in thinking you’ve done
your program a favour in communicating one perspective on an integral
aspect of the program.

and Adam, your retort is, as usual, both steadfast, lucid and cogent.
i’m with you on most of it, but wonder if the urge to take the
discussion to a more sheltered space is a good one?

i’d definitely like to take part in this conversation:
- whether we’re aware or not, education, and its methods is a HUGE
current issue in the design world. I’d like to think we are part of
that world, and have something to talk about with others…

but i’d also like to hear a bit more ***from other students*** too

also – these email fora are just as much a place to discuss ideas as
any other – in fact a great deal of global discussion on design ideas
happens via email ists like this – just check out the 9 years of
(publicly searchable) discussion at:

http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/phd-design.html

in addition to this – i’d probably offer another cool read for those
of you who (like me) might find schön heavy going .. check out Kees
Dorst’s “Understanding Design”

http://tinyurl.com/365q5v

Kees recently started as Professor of Design at UTS, and this book is
not only a great discussion of many issues in design today, it’s also
easy to read, conceptually rich, and well typeset.

cheers

Australia, Melbourne(VIC)

have support many things of recycle!

I dont know why people do not like doing recycling?

It’s easy and simple action.

Look at NON RECYCLE WORLD 

I believe that if people still not care or unaware our blobal

OUR WORLD MUST BECOME like it.

ALL RUBBISH AROUND US!!!!

SAVE ENERGY

Climate change and global warming is happening now and you can do something about it.

The You have the power. Save Energy campaign is encouraging all Victorians to save energy at home to cut greenhouse gas emissions and reduce the impact of climate change.

You may have seen the balloons featured in the campaign. Each represents 50 grams of greenhouse gas. Every Victorian household produces over 12 tonnes (240,000 balloons) of greenhouse gas emissions each year.

Lots of practical advice about ways you can cut energy use while keeping your home comfortable all year round. By saving energy,save money, as well as help protect our environment from the impacts of climate change.

Energy saving tips of the week

Cool your home naturally and save 570 balloons a year! If you must use an air conditioner, keep the thermostat at 26 degrees celsius during warmer weather and save 20 balloons a day (1 balloon = 50 grams of greenhouse gas)!

How can I cool my home naturally?

Shade your windows with external blinds or awnings. With less heat and air conditioning, save money and greenhouse gas output

Pull down the internal blinds and close windows and doors to turn a hot house into a cool haven

Use a fan to cool down a particular area of your house and save on air conditioner use. Using a fan instead of air-con saves 5,700 balloons and $45 each year

How can I use my air conditioner more effectively?

If you do use your air conditioner, keep the thermostat at 26 degrees celsius during warmer weather and turn it off once the room is cool. Increasing the thermostat by just 1 degree celsius from your usual temperature can reduce your running costs by up to 15%
It’s so easy for your household to help reduce its impact on climate change.

Reducing waste at home

By reducing, reusing and recycling, we can all play a part in resolving the problem of our growing waste and global warming.
Below are some helps you can started on minimising waste in the kitchen. These small changes may at first seem inconvenient, but soon they will become second nature and can really contribute to preserving our environment.

Reduce

Reduce means living more carefully and thinking about our choices so that you have less waste to get rid of later on.

Reduce food waste by not overcatering or throwing out leftovers.

Buy in bulk and store food in reusable containers to reduce packaging waste.

Make foods at home instead of buying takeaways or fast food to avoid packaging waste.

Avoid plastic wrap by storing leftovers in the refrigerator in bowls covered with a saucer or a small plate or in washable containers.

Bake potatoes in the oven without foil. Prick before baking.

Use towelling face washers as serviettes for family meals instead of disposable ones or tissues.

Drink tap water and carry your own water bottle or reuse water bottles.

Take your own mug to school functions, the theatre, conferences and other events where tea and coffee is served in disposable cups.

Where possible, hire, share or borrow kitchen appliances, rather than buy new ones.

Reuse

Reusing means to use the same item more than once, preferably many times, rather than disposing of it after one use. Reusing saves the energy and resources that would have been used to make a new product and means that the product does not go to landfill, where it becomes a lost resource.

Reuse plastic containers, jars and tins for storing leftovers, soups, grains, spices, and as lunchboxes instead of buying new plastic containers. Use empty detergent squeeze bottles as bottles for watering plants or filling a steam iron.

Line the bin with used plastic bags. Plastic bags also make good freezer and lunch bags.

Collect egg cartons, yoghurt and ice-cream containers, buttons for kindergartens,day care centres and schools.

Maintain appliances to ensure maximum life and repair them rather than discarding them and buying new ones.

Use the inside wrapper from cereal boxes as frozen food bags or to wrap around lunches and treats.

Wash and reuse aluminium pie plates for baking and reheating food.

Make plastic containers into funnels and scoops.

Use small, empty plastic soft drink bottles as drink bottles for school or outings.

Recycle

Recycling is when a waste product is reprocessed into either the same product or something different. For example, aluminium cans can be recycled back into either new drink cans or engine blocks for new vehicles. Recycling rescues the resources used to make the product in the first place from being lost in landfill, where they can no longer be used. Recycling conserves our valuable resources and lessens environmental impact because fewer areas need to be affected by resource extraction. Recycling processes may also use less energy and water than is used in the extraction of raw materials.

Recycle as much as possible through kerbside recycling.
In Victoria, most homes have kerbside recycling services. Generally, the following materials can be collected from most homes for recycling:

Paper and cardboard
Glass bottles and jars
Aluminium cans and foil
PET plastic soft drink bottles and fruit juice bottles (Code 1 – PET)
Plastic milk, cream and juice bottles (Code 2 – HDPE)
Steel cans
Milk and juice cartons

Always check with your local council about what is collected in your area, as there is some variation from council to council in the materials collected for recycling. The Council Waste & Recycling Services
page offers more details about what is collected in each council area.

Be careful not to contaminate your recycling. While placing wrong materials or putting food waste in the recycling may seem harmless, it can contaminate the whole load. If there is too much contamination, it may not be accepted by recycling companies and could be sent to landfill. Contamination threatens the viability of kerbside recycling by increasing the costs to the collectors, the recyclers and ultimately the community.

Buy recycled products. Buying recycled means looking for products and packaging that are made from recycled material. We are not truly recycling until we have ‘closed the loop’ and bought recycled products. Check out our Waste Wise Shopping Guide Search to find stores that sell recycled-content products.

Recycle your plastic bags at participating supermarkets.

NATIONAL GREENHOUSE GAS INVENTORY IN 2005

SUMMARY the basic idea

Australia’s net greenhouse gas emissions across all sectors

totalled 559.1 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (Mt CO2-e)

in 2005 under the accounting provisions applying to Australia’s 108% emissions target.

Emissions were 102.2% of 1990 levels in 2005.
Based on International Energy Agency and Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change estimates,
Australia’s share of world emissions was 1½ per cent in 2005

The greenhouse gas emissions intensity of the Australian economy, expressed as emissions per dollar of GDP, has declined over the period 1990 to 2005 by 36.7% from 1.0 to 0.7 kg CO2-e.

Australia has reduced its emissions per capita over the period 1990 to 2005 by 14.4% from 32.3 to 27.6 tonnes CO2-e. Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions by sector in 2005.
