Travel Videos - Australia : Byron Bay (pop.
6130)
It seems every backpacker must make the
pilgrimage to Byron Bay. Once the centre for
peace, love and alternative lifestyles, now
home of a growing number of baby boomer
'seachangers' from capital cities down south.
With this new mix, Byron is evolving, (and
the real estate prices are going through the
roof).
Arrived in Byron Sunday night. Byron attracts
creative types and also has a huge collection
of practitioners of alternative health
therapies. To try and capture this I am
interviewing John Dahlsen an artist. John
makes a daily trip to the beach where he
collects plastic waste washed up the night
before. From this waste he creates art
pieces. I found his art to be like a double
edged sword, I was both astounded by the
beauty of his art, and repelled by the
thought it was all collected from our
beaches.

_Why_America_Needs_it_Now
Admiral Frank "Skip" Bowman, President and
CEO of the Nuclear Energy Institute, argues
that nuclear waste management is a less
severe problem than many believe.
-----
Frank 'Skip' Bowman discusses "More Nuclear
Energy: Why America Needs it Now."
The volatility of natural gas prices and the
potential for restrictions on coal-fueled
power plants have combined to generate
greater demand for nuclear power. Nuclear
energy expert Bowman will speak frankly on
the triumphs and challenges involved in
securing a future for nuclear power in the
United States. - The Commonwealth Club of

SelectPlusG8 Leaders Dig Into Environmental
IssuesG8 Leaders Dig Into Environmental
IssuesThe Associated PressPresident Bush and
other world leaders made gradual progress
Tuesday on climate change, but finalizing a
long-term global agreement on what to do
about the fevered planet remains elusive.
(July 8)[Notes:ANCHOR VOICE] ((tree fotoop,
first ladies and fuel-efficient cars))It had
all the trappings of a "green" summit -- from
a tree-planting ceremony on a Japanese
mountainside, to demonstrations of
energy-saving cars.((enviro protests, then
leaders gather in meeting room))But to
environmentalists demanding urgent action on
global warming, the final G-8 meeting of the
Bush presidency is another bust.((file
footage pollution))True, it voiced support
for halving heat-trapping pollution by
mid-century.((Fukuda reading declaration --
super quoted words in graphic))But the
declaration that Japan's prime minister read
pledges ONLY to "seek to ... consider and
adopt" that as a goal ...((Chinese, Indian
leaders at summit))... and only IF rapidly
growing countries like China and India go
along.((Any shot of European leaders, then
Bush at summit))That's far short of the
binding commitment OTHER G8 leaders wanted,
and effectively accepts President Bush's more
cautious approach.BUSH SOT: (FONT: Sunday)
"I've always advocated that there needs to be
a common understanding, and that starts with
a goal. And I also am realistic enough to
tell you that if China and India don't share
that same aspiration, that we're not going to
solve the problem."((More enviro
protesters))Environmental groups call that an
excuse for inaction -- and say the summit's a
wasted opportunity.((Back to G8 leaders))But
the White House points to continuing talks
with the Chinese and Indians -- and says
what's important now are the specific steps
individual countries take to curb the gases
blamed for rising temperatures.MS, AP, G-8
