The Road

The Road is ‘worst case dystopia’ and could be seen as a cultural wake up call.

Life on The Road is seriously disturbing to say the least with the bleak, destroyed, brutal post apocalyptic environment contrasting strongly with the spirit of two survivors, a son & his father as they eke out an existence on a journey from inland to the sea with canibal encounters.

If you’ve got a DVD player or can download this movie, it is a wake-up call that we all need.

Alkimos City to Rise to the North of Perth

The city of Alkimos has received planning approval. This new carbon neutral, environmentally responsible city will be built in the Alkimos region, 40km?s north of Perth. The city will be built around a marina that is expected to rival the Hillarys & Mindarie marinas.

Given that the goal for the new city is carbon neutrality, every aspect of the design of the living and working environment including the houses and transport system will be geared toward this reality.

Housing for Alkimos will consist of a combination of environmentally friendly houses and units built to integrate with the natural dune & scrub surroundings.

Three NEW Coal Power Stations for Western Australia

Rapid growth in Western Australia has all but assured us of the development of three new coal powered electricity generating stations within the next few years.

With energy shortages of 200MW forecast by the summer of 2011-12, the state liberal government has given the green light to Verve to refurbish the 40 year old Muja A & B generators. Aviva has also been given the go ahead to build a new coal powered station at Eneabba. These three stations are expected to generate 7.4 million tonnes of CO2 per year.

Given our abundance of renewable energy sources in this state, this decision by the state liberal government is short sighted to say the least.

That bastion of scientific fact, Scientific America, recently published a feature article that pointed out that the world could generate almost 100% of its energy from renewable sources with current technologies and the right political will.

Container Homes in Western Australia

Why might you consider building a container home in Western Australia? Well there are a number of reasons that might justify such a decison -

  • Buy your container home in China & have it shipped over to Australia. Container homes fit perfectly onto modern transport ships & prices are lower in China
  • Modularity of design make container homes perfectly extensible. Buy multiple containers as components and create a grand multi room home or a hotel
  • Don't feel limited by the shape of the container. Consider creating an external 'look' with shade sails or lattice for instance
  • Container homes can come preconfigured with wiring, plumbing, insulation & interior fittings

Build your future container home & beat the 'debt slave' mindset.
