As a way of celebrating the achievements that community groups have made in taking action on environmental and social issues, like climate change, SEE-Change is holding an “Eco Picnic by the Lake”.

The picnic will kick off on Sunday the 10th of February at 4pm, in Weston Park (Pescott Lane, Yarralumla, ACT). There will be information and displays of green technologies and products by ANZSES, HEAT and Sustainability Programs of the ACT Government, Yarralumla Nursery and more. With raffle prizes donated by Eco Meats and Mooble, and information and giveaways no one will leave empty handed.

Bring your picnic basket and a plate of food to share. There will be games to entertain the kids, so bring the whole family. For more information head to our website www.see-change.org.au

Water Melons … hingo. Water Melons are green on the outside and pink in the middle.

I guess the assumption that people taking personal action are “smug” is akin to the assumption that those poo-pooing them are right-wing, gun-toting, red-necks!

No problem with community minded people getting together for a picnic, sepi.

But please spare us from the smug, self-congratulatory bullshit about action on climate change.

LOL! Thats gold.

…oh, and save the whales.

What about all the carbon dioxide emitted from the lungs of the participants?

Also, I’m more than happy to drop a noisy burnout for the greenies’ entertainment. And when they get cranky and try to chase me away, I’ll be able to give the V8 a squeeze and leave them choking on my tyre smoke while they run to their pathetic Priuses. HA HA HA!

@VY & el,

when i see the word pelaton, i vision you two in a mad max style vehicle…

I suspect that the smugness level will be beyond acceptable levels – I’d give it a miss. If you’re heading out this weekend I recall that the Multicultural food fair is on again. It’s where superior nations, ie. those with some form of barbequed small good in a bun and beer as their national dish show just why countries like Bangladesh never get ahead.

I like how rmckay had an answer for each of S4anta’s points except the part about methane. LOL!

Perhaps you could all organise your own “Hear no, See no, Speak no Change Picnic”?

Down on that little beach near the yacht club, where there’s plenty of sand for heads to be stuck into? 😛

Gaia’s tears….

People will be bringing their own plates and cutlery to minimise waste, we use biodegradable cups at all our event and while I am sure there will be people driving to the picnic, there is a pelaton organised from both the north and south side.

Why does it bug you guys so much if people who have a common aim want to get together at a picnic???

We’re all gunna die!

Will there be a tree planting ceremony to offset the carbon produced in cooking/preparing the food brought to picnic as well as the emmissions from travel to said picnic ?

At least they’ll add to the Nursery’s depleted compost stocks.

upon reading links comedy/ammo

I think a RiotACT correspondant is needed to monitor who is using non-recyclable picnic consumables, and then disposing them into a bin, for a 25 year stay in an urban landfill, and monitor the methane and other hot air that these freaking bongo-playing non-sensical a**eholes will expel ultimeatly adding to the demise of this wonderful planet.

Indeed.

What a superstituious propaganda fest this event sounds like.

I don’t think anyone can disagree with you there Thumper….unless they replace the V8 Supercars with the Eco Prius Cup.

What ‘action’ have they taken on climate change?

Motherhood statements like “we must take action now to stop the climate from changing”?

And the weather took a lot of notice of that!

Have a picnic, pat yourselves on the back for contributing to the community or whatever – but please leave the hippie climate change bullshit out of it.

Hope it rains.

Anyone want to sponsor VYBerlinaV8 to drive around burning rubber for this event?

Anybody ever heard of the acronym woft ?

I might buzz along to heckle Deb Foskey, possibly with some free range eggs just to keep with the eco-atmosphere, she’s as surely there as some mad hen trying to sell home made soaps for $20 a bar.

What, no bon-fire to celebrate?

Pass.
