The biggest wave
hamish: march 1, 2007
The biggest wave
Hallo everyone.
i've just caught my biggest wave of the summer
on the first day of Autumn
... that's got to be some kind of a sign
of good things.
Slow Down.
A constant reminder
to keep living my own truth.
The whole nuclear thing
is so big in Australia at the moment
and only going to get bigger
as we negotiate our way through a year of
NSW State and Federal elections.
All eyes on Australia...
we're standing at a cross roads
- what will we choose?
i see Australians taking a stand,
making a statement,
for a different way of being and doing
in a world where
to take the well trod path
is so often where we head,
in spite of ourselves
and our better intentions.
We have so much uranium in Australia
and i feel there are strong desires from some
minority
to have this raw material
be the new oil.
i unequivocally oppose a nuclear future
for the world.
We already have the biggest nuclear power generator
sustaining life across the entire planet.
To convince ourselves we need to supplement that
is like saying we should be crushing rocks by hand
to help build up sand on the beach.
40% of the world's uranium deposits
are in South Australia.
They're exporting to the world
but don't want nuclear power stations there
and don't want a nuclear waste dump.
And yet
they continue
to export.
The waste nuclear power produces
is toxic
to an extreme degree.
This is a problem
to which no one has any true solution.
This is about our kids.
This is about my kids.
i don't want to leave them anything
i'd rather not deal with myself.
i refuse to leave them anything
i can't deal with myself.
Plant more trees,
invest in sustainable energy technology,
"then before you know it
you turn around
and you've got an asset".
All eyes on Australia.
What message
do we send the world.
What world
do we leave our kids.
peace,
