An urgent threat to the Great Barrier Reef

[Sunny-side-up]

I got an Email this morning with this content below. Bushiness and money make me so mad at the way they go about things.
This time all for outdated Coal!


Posted: 26 July 2013
It would be hard to make this stuff up. Australia’s legendarily irresponsible mining industry has a new plan: while the planet faces catastrophic climate change, build the world’s largest coal mining complex, and then build a shipping lane to that port straight through the greatest ecological treasure we have - the Great Barrier Reef!

This is a terrible idea with devastating consequences, and the investor group Aurizon that’s backing it know it. They’re getting cold feet, and we might be able to push them over the edge, and kill the project. One of the main potential funders has even donated to climate activism!

If one million of us express our head-shaking disbelief at this crazy project in the next few days, we can help get Aurizon to pull funding and maybe even persuade the Australian PM to step in. This is what Avaaz is for, let’s raise a voice for common sense!

Thanks, I signed but my guide just said to me "Danaher" and the word sounded sweet to my heart and mind/a rememberence? I don't know but the name sure sounds familiar to me. I have Irish in me, and the Irish are a proud and peaceful fun loving brood of souls, that warms me soul when I think of it. But they didn't get the nickname "Fighting Irish" for nothing. I've always felt warrior, and protective of those I love. Does anyone here know what the name Danaher means? Could the name have a meaning from another life?

It's not the first time, when I watched John Wayne's Quiet Man, I got the same feeling with the name Danaher. First it was Charles for the last 4-5 years, now the name Danaher when I went to sign the petitions. Could Danaher be thanking me for signing, I've always had a interest in marine biology and love the thought of one day treating this planet right. Like an aquarium in health, as far as the oceans, lakes and Rivers.

PLEASE everyone sign up!

I have signed a couple of petitions in Australia already. It is a shameful idea, and very unpopular in the rest of Oz, but supported by many in Queensland as it means employment for locals and of course LOTS of money (they believe).

This is a dire situation, and the reef is really taking a battered these last few years.

No way! Can this be true? If it is true it's a new low for the human race. Seriously. Sigh!
