I’ve been an environmental activist for roughly 20 years. I’ve been arrested, I’ve been in fist-fights with Nazis, I’ve done it all.
It feels like there are fewer activists today than there has ever been.
I’m planning to leave the country.

I give up.

Where will you go?
Who knows?
I’m done chasing a house and family in Aus. The wife and I are looking to sell up belongings, go meet up with friends in Europe and spend our time kayaking and trekking around the place on the cheap. I have a job in Toronto waiting if I want to settle.
I’m done with Aussie work culture, shit Aussie pay (relative to professional roles overseas) and the worsening “fuck you got mine” attitude imported from the US that seems to permeate Aussie culture now.
A lot of my mates already left, I only held on because I thought we were progressing and I am very connected to the land here. I don’t see it getting better anymore.

Enjoy life while we still can, I guess.

I meant posting to !environment. I can’t be the only one, it’s embarrassing.

Your zeal with the aussie-enviro community has been a source of inspiration to find new sources and up the rate of posting for me over at the Perth community. You should be feeling zero embarrassment.

I would contribute but don’t know a lot and fear getting into discussions over my head or inadvertently spreading misinformation.
I can definitely chuck stuff in there though

Great post!

Well what’s more embarrassing?
You being my main source of environmental news or you posting environmental news?

I think it’s time to start implementing the content divisions proposed a few months ago, and encourage people to subscribe to !environment@aussie.zone !news@aussie.zone !australianpolitics@aussie.zone as the “full Australia Community”
