    USING MAN MADE FIRES FOR CLIMATE CONTROL
    June 10, 2007 - Australia

    After many years of problems for both the indigenous people ( Aborigines ) of Australia and an increase of major bush fires wiping out large tracts of land and sometimes affecting major cities, Australia has embraced the Aborigines ancient traditions of indigenous fire management by burning areas of the Australian Outback to act as wild fire breaks just after the rains to stop wild fires spreading uncontrolable later in the year. The project has been made possible by the most unlikely of companies ConocoPhillips who have agreed to pay the Aborigines A$1m ($850,000) a year, for 17 years, to offset 100,000 tons of the refinery's own greenhouse emissions. The half a million Aborigines in Australia have long suffered from huge social problems in dysfunctional communities ravaged by domestic violence and alcoholism as the governments plans to assimilate them into the mainstream have largely failed, but schemes like this may well provide the opportunity for them to provide a service they understand better than anybody else and helping in the fight against global warming.

If your back porch is empty it might be time to think about adding some great patio furniture. Patio furniture is a simple way to add a lot to any porch or deck.

Think about the many uses of well chosen patio furniture. First, having great patio furniture for your back deck or porch will encourage you to be outside more. When the weather turns nice not many people want to remain indoors any longer. Most look for ways to get out into the beautiful weather. But who is anxious to use their back porch or deck if it is totally empty? No one will rush outside to read a book or enjoy a glass of lemonade without somewhere comfortable to sit. Everyone could use a little more time outside, so think about purchasing some patio furniture so you can get out and enjoy the weather.

Another great reason to purchase patio furniture is to have a place to enjoy one of the most classic things to do in summer: barbequing. Every family I know could use an excuse to spend more time together and nothing is more fun in the summer than enjoying a great barbeque. Adding perfect patio furniture can give youreason to fire up that grill and make a family memory. If barbequing isn’t something your family enjoys consider having a game night using your patio furniture or make a picnic to enjoy just outside your home. Get creative. The important thing here is to use your new patio furniture to spend more quality time as a family, whatever that means for you.

Having patio furniture brings you one step closer to being able to host a great summer party. Invite all of your closest family and friends over to enjoy an afternoon of fun, food and fellowship. People will love to share good conversation and a glass of iced tea while they lounge on your patio furniture. There is nothing worse than hosting a party and having no where for people to sit and relax. You can host the best parties of the summer if you add small things like patio furniture to make your home more guest and party friendly.

A final great reason to consider purchasing patio furniture for your home is that patio furniture is really durable. Unlike some purchases that you have to buy over and over, when you purchase quality patio furniture you are investing in something that will add fun to your summers for years to come. Be sure to choose a style that will last a long time and that you’ll enjoy for a while. Shy away from choosing a trendy design or fabric pattern for your patio furntiture. The more basic and classic you choose, the longer you will want to keep it.

If you still aren’t convinced that patio furniture is right for you, a final thing I can suggest is to check it out. Go to a store or two and see what is available. Take time to sit in the chairs. I’m quite sure that once you see how full of comfort patio furniture really is, you’ll be purchasing some for your home before you know it.
