Hello,
I was listening to Radio National's Saturday Extra this morning and heard a fabulous interview with Geraldine Douge interviewing Lea Jellinek Cultural anthropologist and Research Associate at Monash Asia Institute, Monash University.
The topic is:
Recycling in a Javanese Village
and the brief synopsis is:
Plastic waste is choking the rivers, drains and rice fields of Java, Indonesia. The air is grey with the smoke of burning rubbish. In Jogyakarta, simple and appropriate technology combined with good leadership and community involvement, has encouraged a village of 800 people to separate and recycle their rubbish and re-green their community. This program is now spreading to other urban villages in Indonesia.
It is such an optimistic and heroic story that I wanted to make an audio blog of it, but after much mucking around, found that audio blogging is not yet available outside of the USA.
So the best I could do is provide a link to the podcast.
Here it is: http://www.abc.net.au/rn/talks/saturday/
Unfortunately the five stories of the day are in one file. So - If you would like to listen it would be best to download the whole lot (rather than stream it).
Then use your media player slide to find the appropriate audio file. (The last one on the following list)
Just to avoid confusion, here's what the linked page will look like:-
Saturday 29 April 2006 Listen Real Media 7.30am 8.05amWindows Media 7.30am 8.05am Download MP3: 8.05-9.00 Podcast Help
07:30 Egypt Update
07:48 Interest Rate Conundrums
08:06 The Longest Decade
08:26 Boutique Funds
08:39 Recycling in a Javanese Village
The world being in the moral and environmental mess that it's in, I found it a real "feelgood" story.

Signing off now already,
