Slowly does it (Via Appelberg)
Having taken the culinary world by storm, the “slow movement” is now being embraced by areas ranging from fashion to medicine and manufacturing, with surprising results in terms of productivity.
A solution for home and away (Via Appelberg)
Saab’s transportable aircraft hangars and maintenance containers have proven their worth time and again on the frontline of conflicts. The next generation Deployable Aircraft Maintenance (DAM) facility is also ideal for domestic use, offering the strength and durability of a fixed facility at a fraction of the cost.
Cat 6015B White Paper (WesTrac)
Weighing in at 140 tonnes and with an 8.1 cubic metre bucket, the Cat 6015B fills a long-standing gap in the Australian hydraulic excavator market. But how does it stack up against its rivals? A new production study conducted in Western Australia’s Goldfields region shows the new Cat easily outperforms the competition for fuel economy and productivity.
A real crowd pleaser (WesTrac)
With a host of features aimed at boosting productivity and ease of operation, the new Cat® 745 articulated truck is the perfect fit for Reiner Earthmoving’s fleet.
What is a marine protected area? (WWF)
Never before in human history have the world’s oceans and the creatures that live in them been under greater stress. With the human population of the Earth now topping seven billion, fish are being harvested for the table in record numbers, with many species being hunted to extinction.
What is climate change? (WWF)
The climate of the Earth is made up of all the various regional climates put together. It has changed throughout the planet’s 4.5-billion-year history, with conditions becoming warmer or cooler at various times in the past. However scientific observations now show that the Earth’s climate has changed very rapidly in the last 100 years or so – climbing by a little under 1 °C.
What is sustainability? (WWF)
The Earth is home to a vast trove of natural resources, including air, water, soil, plants, animals, minerals and land, that together allow human beings to live and thrive. However, in our relatively short time on the planet we have tended to use these resources with very little thought for the future. We’ve cleared forests, destroyed ecosystems, and burned fossil fuels with devastating impacts on the long-term health of the environment and the prospects of future generations.
Panda Fact Sheet (WWF)
There are few animals on the planet more closely associated with the threats of habitat loss and extinction than giant pandas. So dire was the plight of the giant panda that in 1966 WWF chose it as the official symbol of its worldwide work to protect biodiversity and preserve wilderness.
NNC 2017 Gratitude Report (NNC)
It’s amazing the difference a year can make. Single mum Marina and her daughter Sam started 2017 on a bleak note. After the breakup of Marina’s marriage, the pair were living in a cramped studio in Newtown with shared facilities and almost no cooking amenities.
