		<description><![CDATA[Australian prime minister John Howard and his world-leader bureaucrat buddies have just demonstrated their utter contempt for the real environmental issue and the &#8220;common&#8221; people of the world. It&#8217;s disgusting&#8230;
These world leaders attending the APEC meeting have just squandered around $700 million on little more than pomp and ceremony to massage their already monstrous egos.

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s no doubt that the Australian government is dragging its feet on the environment. And it&#8217;s highly likely that we&#8217;ll never see an adequate response to climate change and environmental degradation until we the people demand it.
Typical of governments blinded by their desperation to be re-elected their focus is still on &#8220;economic growth&#8221; and maintenance [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Rampant Consumerism", url: "http://www.littlegreenguide.com/living-green/2007/06/rampant-consumerism/" });</script>]]></description>

Iraq springs to mind here. Our government was sent a clear message at the time. &#8220;Not in our name&#8221; was the cry.
When questioned Howard&#8217;s response was &#8220;The mob haven&#8217;t made up their mind&#8221;.

As GST increasingly becomes the revenue base for government we are confronted with a serious dilemma&#8230;
Rampant consumerism is the primary cause of environmental degradation. Yet thanks to the GST the government now has a real vested interest in us continuing to consume and degrade the environment in the [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Building A Non-Sustainable Economy", url: "http://www.littlegreenguide.com/living-green/2007/05/building-a-non-sustainable-economy/" });</script>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When you boil it all down sustainable living is about efficiency. That’s why no serious discussion about sustainable practice can ignore the rise of big bloated governments and their attendant bureaucracies.
Fact is the institution of government is directly responsible for unsustainable practice.
The French philosopher and libertarian, Bastiat, said it best:
&#8220;Government is the myth whereby one [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Governments, Bureaucracy and Sustainable Living", url: "http://www.littlegreenguide.com/living-green/2007/05/governments-bureaucracy-and-sustainable-living/" });</script>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you want to get serious about sustainability, the politics cannot be ignored.
Governments are directly responsible for much of the greed and corruption that hinders truly sustainable development. The whole institution of government is a large part of the problem we face today.
