Today's a new day.

Life's a rollercoaster lately. Dealing with stress, some adverts I don't like and other stuff that's happening lately. Although bad stuff happens, there are good stuff happening too. Normal food adverts I prefer, some health promotion adverts, especially older ones, I will get not like on sight. I care for myself, my fish and my own opinions. I do need help regarding the bad situation I have currently.
 
Also, eating healthy food is like a hobby to me, you get into it for a while, but then you move on. I didn't want to eat healthy because of what my taste buds prefer. I have little to no issues regarding myself and my diet, but that will change in the future.

@Colin_T I found an abandoned poster on the floor on South Beach while I was with the social group. I picked it up and read it. It's about a reef more than 300km northwest of Cape Leveque in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. It's called Scott Reef and it's one part of two atoll-like reefs in the Timor Sea, along with the smaller Seringapatam Reef. In the southwest of Scott Reef are the Rowley Shoals, a trio of atoll-like coral reefs. I have never heard of the reefs until now. And a fossil-fuel company is planning to mine Scott Reef of gas. The presentation about Scott Reef is on the 14th, which is next week, in Fremantle Town Hall. Greenpeace and a few others are holding the event. I brought it home and I did research on it. Apparently Scott Reef is a destination for migratory pygmy blue whales and the sandy atolls provide good places for sea turtles to nest on. I will send a picture of the poster later.
 
Today's Thursday. Had to go early because my brother has math club at school. Fed the tetras before I went. I will go to workplace at 9am. The forum's an amazing place to chat to people. Just keeping the thread family-friendly. :) One of the local LFS's in Canning Vale have paludarium classes now, and includes making a paludarium to take home. Although expensive (four packages $210-$280), it will be a fun project, but I will research about paludaria first. Once I finished the paludarium class, I will write a journal about it, so I will keep you updated. I only want the biggest paludarium package because I want some nano-fish that won't jump out of the water part. Paludarium, here I come! I just have to wait for future classes to be confirmed first.
 
Didn't go to workplace today due to my education assistant not feeling well today. However, I will go to workplace for 7.5 hours tomorrow from 10am-5pm.
 
And @Colin_T, here's the picture of the poster. There is a QR code on the poster, which directs to the Conservation Council of WA website and the event. It's held at 6:30pm to 8pm.

It baffles me why the state and federal governments are even allowing more oil and gas exploration considering what is happening to the planet (climate change caused by burning fossil fuels). They are such hypocrites and don't deserve to be in power. Yes we will do something about climate change (we will make it worse by letting massive companies continue destroying the planet just for a few dollars). And letting a company like woodside drill into a coral reef is just crazy.

Australia is surrounded by reefs and everything north or Perth and Sydney is coral reef, everything south is stony (rocky) reef. Up north the Indonesians have been stripping the reef of sea cucumber, shellfish, fish in general and even sharks and turtles. Throw in a mining company and you have nothing good eventuating from this. And the mining company doesn't exactly have a good reputation of caring for the environment.

It makes me sick what the government and rich people (not all rich) are doing to the planet.

The web address on the bottom of the picture (under the QR code) is wrong. Do not go to cccwa.org/save_scott_reef_fremantle because it doesn't exist. Someone stuck an extra c in it when they printed it.

This is the correct web address

I understand this is a big concern on coral reefs like Scott Reef. Did you read the Greenpeace article about Scott Reef online?
