This month we ask CAMs MasterChef, whale warrior and ring arounder – Merryn, the hard questions.

Sunlight; desert landscapes; the kind of travelling where you get somewhere new everyday; hiking; Kikkoman organic soy sauce; vegan ice cream; fair trade chocolate; HBO TV series; animals in the wild; activists and civil society campaigners.
2 Dislikes
Things that are cheap because someone has being exploited to make them. Companies that pay people to do horrible things. Consumption that doesn’t take into account the consequences on others. And also, when a TV series gets axed halfway through the season.
3 What do you do?
I’m a pediatric doctor, working in a Children’s Emergency Department. Over the last two summers I was ship’s doctor on the Sea Shepherd ship the Steve Irwin in Antarctica, looking after people protecting whales in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary. (more…)

Meet the team – June
Every month we’ll be getting to know a new CAMer and putting them through their paces with our 20 Questions.
And in the month of June, who better to meet than Jane!

Russian doorstop novels, leatherman multi-tools, cooking with spices, bushwalking, Melbourne, sleeping in.
2. Dislikes
The pressure to own the latest cool gadget, amusement park rides that spin you around, chokos, those people who come to your door trying to get you to change electricity providers.
3. What do you do?

4. What’s your background?
I grew up in Sydney, moved around a fair bit including stints in Cairns and the Blue Mts, fell in love with Melbourne and wouldn’t live anywhere else. My work background is mainly in communications, though I’ve worked in a variety of fields. (more…)

At last – someone is talking sense.
The CPRS ‘locks in failure’
The government’s Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme (CPRS) is being debated in the Senate this week. If passed, the CPRS will lock in failure. It ignores the climate change science, protects the brown economy, and further delays Australia’s transition to a clean green economy.
Bob Brown and the Greens are taking the fight to the Senate for policy that gives our planet a fighting chance for a safer future. CAM supports their efforts.
The Greens have produced an anti-CPRS advertisement and need $30,000 by tomorrow to have it shown on TV next week. This is one of those crucial moment in Australia’s history. Let’s all help the Greens out and make it happen!
