Can Launceston Join The Dots?

ATTENTION LAUNCESTON:

Rather than the implementation of self-serving, self-congratulatory, totalitarian bureaucratic mono-cultural planning relative to ‘culture’, now might be a very good time to actually start a cultural shift towards dealing with the CLIMATE EMERGENCY – in accord with already determined policy – and start to be proactive and facilitate and encourage investment in:

The producing blocks such as the ones below; and
The start of production of the class of sustainable built structures such as the ones below; and
The start of proactivity in removing plastics from the waste stream that posits plastic waste generated in Tasmania at sea in Tasmanian waters;
The start of proactivity in energising a local circular economy;
The start of proactivity in regard to the community generation of energy.

None of this is rocket science and well within the technical capabilities of a whole range of people in the region. People are over the excuses that this kind of thing “takes time” but when no ‘time’ is given to the implementation of environmental sustainability the city’s credibility bubble has burst.

This is the work of local governance and its planning function. If it isn’t why do ratepayers pay out all the money they do for ‘civic services’?
