WoodSolutions is organising a seminar this month that will bring the winners of the 2022 Australian Timber Design Awards on the same platform to present and discuss their winning projects.
From a purely environmental concern to a complex notion that encompasses a range of different facets; from lack of clarity to the empowering potential of transparency; from occasional virtue signalling to active engagement and attitudinal changes – the perception of sustainability has been undergoing an undeniable and dynamic shift. And as the global community firmly sets its eyes on the desperately needed goal of zero carbon by 2050, forest and wood products are naturally emerging as positive contributors to this important change – both locally, and on a global scale.

GAY CONVERSION LAWS
Thereâs an old joke among therapists. How many therapists does it take to change a light bulb? None, because the lightbulb has to want to change itself. The truth contained within this joke is patients are often motivated by wanting to change aspects of themselves or understand themselves better.
When it comes to sexual orientation or gender identity, which are two very different areas and should not be conflated, many people of course have no need for a therapist because indeed nothing requires fixing, but it is not true for all. There are patients who seek counselling because they may be conflicted or confused or uneasy about certain feelings or thoughts of themselves.
