What Is The Earthsharing Challenge?

• An opportunity for an interactive workshop on land and natural resource use
• An offer to schools to show your students work on environmental projects
• A challenge to students to be selected to attend a free environmental camp, with a hands on role in the production of a video on sustainability

Outline Of The Challenge

Two members of the Earthsharing team will come out to your school and take your students through a 45 minute interactive environmental learning experience. The workshop is based around Earthsharing Australia’s philosophy of land and natural resources as part of the Global Commons. More specifically we will explore current environmental issues, eco footprints and opportunities for further student involvement.

In wrapping up the workshop, your students have the opportunity to present any environmental projects, issues or plans for the future that your school may have.

When? Where? What?

We run dynamic, interactive classes where students get an insight into how our economy encourages us to think certain ways. How can we reform our economy to look after the economy? Students will experience the possibilities first hand through our intereactive Earth Share game. Here’s a Photo of the students in action at the Earthsharing Challenge camp (JPG 169Kb)

These are 45 minute classes that we run for free, within 30m of the CBD. Next workshop season will be April 2007.

All we need is:

• A date and time
• A space to hold the workshop and presentation.
• An opportunity for students to prepare a five minute presentation of your schools environmental projects, issues or future plans. Any medium is good, with any number of students involved.

Dear Editor,

Re: BCA: 56 taxes a company curse (The Age “Business Day” 10/4/07)

We hear low overseas wages given as the reason our manufacturers cannot compete with Chinese imports, but we don’t hear of the penalizing effect of the multitude of taxes on our manufacturers. It would be surprising if Chinese manufacturers were similarly penalized. Production wages form only a small proportion of the price paid by the public for overseas products, particularly in these days of automation.

The joint Business Council of Australia and Corporate Tax Association call for a comprehensive review of federal and state business tax arrangements, should receive wide support, however, removal of a number of charges, such as payroll tax, should not await completion of such a review, whilst we have an escalating $500 billion foreign debt, with no end in sight and manufacturers disappearing almost on a weekly basis. These penalizing taxes on production should be replaced with realistic community resource charges on the use of land and all other finite resources including forests, water, oil, gas, minerals and the electro-magnetic spectra.

Yours sincerely,
David Barkley
