ERC Just News Vol 6 No 26: Buying Bottles of Water!

Many of us do it. It is easy to carry around. It is easy to obtain. It is trendy.

For some years the mantra from the sport and health world has been ‘hydrate, hydrate, hydrate’ as they try to get us to drink the so-called daily intake advised by experts.

So from backpacks to conference rooms there is bottled water. Clever marketing and advertising have caused people to distrust the quality of tap water.

Have we considered whether it is environmentally, economically and politically sustainable? We need to think more consciously about what we are doing.

ERC JustNews 23: Unions have a role in our community

Why teaching about unions may be useful

Unions are often in the news. At times what is reported about them seem to highlight the conflictual. Unions are an important part of modern society. They have been important in shaping how we in Australia and many other countries live. ERC has published a study paper on this topic in the ERC JustNews series on current issues.

Donate to support ERC's work

URGENT! Support our work for asylum seekers.

Update: ERC Director, Phil Glendenning, recently returned to Australia from Afghanistan after 10 days interviewing returned asylum seekers again in Kabul.

ERC is redoubling our efforts to find a third-country resettlement option for those returnees from Australia with whom we have been able to make contact. We need financial support to achieve this.

Such work uncovers high levels of risk for the deportees (and for our researchers). Research publications are available here.

Listen to Phil speak of the visit to ABC Radio National's Phillip Adams.

Please donate now so that this work may continue. Your donation is tax deductible!
