Invites you to be part of a community photograph to
“Connect the Dots” for:

CLIMATE IMPACTS DAY ON 5TH MAY 2012

350.org is an international organization working to solve the climate crisis. 350.org has organised a world-wide event to draw attention to the potential impacts of climate change.

CASES has decided to “connect the dots” of what will happen to Port Botany, Botany, Mascot and surrounding suburbs if sea levels continue to rise.

As a concerned community member, you can take part in this photograph which will be uploaded to the 350.org website & viewed around the world!

When: Saturday 5th May 2012
Time: 11am – 11.30am
Where: Sir Joseph Banks Park, Botany http-//g.co/maps/cjg63.webloc
Directions: We will meet in the Fremlin St carpark. Enter from Botany Rd. The photo will be taken on or near the viewing platform overlooking the port.

Please make a large sea-blue dot & bring it with you to hold up for the photograph.

It is very important to RSVP leeannetyler@yahoo.com.au so that we can get an idea of numbers attending.

Feel free to forward this invitation to friends, family, church & community groups!

Please note: In the event of rain, the photo will go ahead unless it is bucketing down. In this case, another date will be advised on CASES website: http://www.cases.org.au.

We’ve been importing Schrockenfux scythes from Austria for some years now. Given the number of people delighted in using this, aptly dubbed, “porridge powered lawn mower” we thought to bring it to the attention of more by offering to travel down to Sydney and demo the tool at group meetings if so desired. Schrockenfux, by the way, have been making scythes, and more, since 1540 so know a bit about quality.

What uses?? Cutting meadow hay (long grasses)for fodder mixes. Green plant input to compost heaps…and more. No noise, just a wonderfully satisfying, meditative, exercise that does little or no damage to treasured plants.
