Working in a Minister's office has shown me that your Government DO care about the environment. There isn't a rubbish bin in my office, only a recycling bin. In the kitchen, we have a 'landfill' bin, a 'compost' bin and a stadard recycling bin. In the photocopy room there are TWO recycling bins, one for normal documents, and one for TOP SECRET (No wonder documents get leaked so easily from the Government when they're stored in such well camouflaged places. haven't they heard of a paper shredder?). And I really want to get me some of those lights which turn on and off automatically when you enter and leave a room.
Appreciative as I currently am about protecting our environment, I have a bit of a problem with Nature right now. Namely that it won't stay in it's rightful place. A place which is NOT hiding amongst the deceptively civilised seeming grass in Treasury Gardens, waiting to make my white top bird-poo coloured. A place which is NOT writhing into peaceful suburbs and lunging at innocent old ladies with nasty, snakey fangs.
I like Nature. It's pretty, healthy, often smells good. But I'm quite happy to come over to visit should I need a big dose of it. My people will call its people. In the meantime:
Nature. Learn your place. And stay there.

Postscript related not to environment, but to things in the Minister's office: I cannot believe that they have a veritable salad bar of recycling bin options, but do not have guillotene, making the slicing up of paper BY HAND (WITH SCISSORS) the job of the receptionist. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteYeah the government are gradually getting more environmental. What I don't understand is why the health system is so unhealthy. Have you see what they serve in hospital canteens? >:P
ReplyDeleteGuillotines are really cheap, you can get a small A4 one from Officeworks for under $30, I think... take it out of petty cash! (If you're still working there.)
ReplyDeleteP.S. Yes, I love you - thanks for the e-mail. xx
