Many homeless people are switching to reusable bags and trolleysIn what has been described as a massive coup for Australia's
environmental movement, the nation's homeless have put their support behind the
push to phase out giant plastic bags. "This is a great day for Mother Nature,"

Great article, great ending, "Australians have been asked to thank the homeless by giving them their unwanted metal coins for recycling into alcoholic beverages."

At the risk of being slightly serious, homeless people in South Australia are actually helping the environment as they collect cans & bottles for the 5 cent refund. Come on, you other states, get your act together and get a refund too!

I concur. How dare these greenie leftists think about the death of entire ecosystems and the potential doom it spells for all of humanity when there's poverty to consider.

Because we all know greenie leftists know nothing about poverty.

Screw you Cubis, or Richie or Gregor or who-ever the wrote this article. I don't think you really understand who you're criticising.

Or maybe It's just me that's confused.

Why would the average businessman care about global warming?

They'll care about it when an (artificial) market will be created. It'll be called carbon trading.

The trick will be to get the rules right so that businesses can make money doing good things for the environment, as opposed to making money out of pretending to do good things for the environment.

I liked 'Ian Kiernan', but am highly offended that he would state that homeless people have "meagre possessions...." Just because he's worth a motsa, perhaps he should try living as a homeless mortal. Maybe his possessions may not seem so meagre after all!
