    Installing Eco Friendly Toilet Facilities


    Rust Remover
    Toilet Bowl Cleaner
    Envirosafe Solutions is primarily a business-to-business chemical solutions provider. We specialize in eco friendly liquid products which are planet safe. They are effective and useful in any project in which you might use a similar product. We provide a wide range of chemical solutions, such as our toilet bowl cleaner, our glue remover, and our disinfectant.

    Naturally, there is a need to bring this eco friendly behavior into the bathroom, as well. For example, your company may have installed low water toilets and environmentally friendly toilet fixtures so that your company uses up less water in its waste disposal system. In addition to that, you will probably want to take advantage of some eco friendly industrial liquid to keep those bathrooms clean.

    We recommend our eco friendly liquid products, and the ones which apply to bathrooms include glass cleaner, toilet bowl cleaner, bath and tile cleaner, disinfectant, sanitiser and antibacterial hand wash. Naturally, all of these are a part of a nice, clean set of toilet facilities, and they are also safe for the environment, which brings extra punch to your business’ interest in contributing back to the planet.

    Being environmentally sound is not just a matter of good mechanics or planet friendly chemicals, but it requires a combination of these things in order to achieve the desired effect in the long run. It means stepping back and looking at the whole picture, the entire mural, to see where different facets of a system can be used multiple times and with multiple functions. Any system in a business, not just the toilet facilities, should be examined in this manner. There are plenty of examples of eco friendly behavior being found in some of the simplest solutions.

    It is important to not over think problems when we look at how to fix them. Sometimes, it is just more efficient to go with a simple system of cleaning, maintaining and keeping things in working order. That is where Envirosafe Solutions comes in. We are a part of something bigger, something global, in nature, and we are proud to do business which contributes to the greater good of mother earth. Every system in your business can be aided by Envirosafe Solutions. To schedule a purchase order or to just talk to us, call us today: (+61) 1300 88 90 70.

    Herbal Centers of Growth

    Radiator Coolant
    Radiator Coolant
    In the book, The Harvester, by Gene Stratton Porter, she describes the many ways in which she understands nature and how to create sustainable systems of growth, especially ones which can be harvested. The book itself is fiction, but the knowledge of plants and animals, and the growth and patterns of nature therein are part of what Gene Porter herself knew about how to sustain permanent systems of herbs and edible things and flowers and beauty.

    The fictional story therein is still one of the most widely appreciated studies on nature and beauty and how the earth works in its highly functional form.

    Naturally, it is considered to be a good book to read, for no other reason than to extrapolate different forms and plants in nature to study next, since so many are listed in multiple eco systems, and all of which are part of a greater whole of renewability and health toward mankind.

    You see, one of the aspects of this book is the correct harvesting and shipment of herbs, and this is all done by one man. Having worked in these circles herself, Porter would only have written about this accurately, since these were projects and systems with which she had direct and practical knowledge.

    Envirosafe Solutions provides chemicals, instead. Whether or not you are an herbal specialist in any way, you can appreciate how important it is that even our daily business and personal chemical solutions must be safe for planet earth. This is a matter of retaining our current standard of living and our standard of doing business, while using chemicals which are eco friendly. Of course, if you are going to be part of such a movement, you have to choose your chemicals carefully.

    That is why, on our website, we list all of our products individually with information pages regarding each and every one of them. These include our special bath and tile cleaner, our liquid hand soap, our electrical insulator cleaner, and our diesel bug killer. There is such a wide variety of chemical solutions available, all of which are eco friendly industrial liquid, that Envirosafe Solutions is kept busy in our business-to-business sales. Call us today to place your order: (+61) 1300 88 90 70.

    A Little Drama goes a Long Way


    Marine Glass Cleaner
    Marine Glass Cleaner
    Not everyone cares about the environment. However, those who do can get easily riled up by even a little bit of drama over an environmental project or initiative or counsels which vote for or against different environmental issues.

    When it comes to passionate movements, such as the environmental movement, a little drama goes a long way.

    It doesn’t take much to get people involved with the social world around us, and to let everyone know what they think is best, providing they are sufficiently passionate about the subject. The thing about social environmentalism is, not everyone agrees about what is best for the world. Some say that if we leave the world alone it will fix itself. Other people say that the world may right itself if left alone, but not in time, and that we must speed the process along by engaging actively in sustainable activity.

    At Envirosafe Solutions, we don’t believe in drama. We just want you to have effective solutions for the chemical problems you face on a regular basis. From our rust remover to our dishwashing liquid, and from our porta-loo treatment to our fabric conditioner, our chemical solutions are what make our particular flavor of eco sustainability great. No, we don’t actually produce sustainable food products or anything like that, but our chemicals do the job of your ordinary name brand liquids and powders, without the same effect upon the environment.

    Now, usually, we like to put in a few more words about what we do, but you can see for yourself just how easy it would be to replace your current glass cleaner with marine glass cleaner from Envirosafe Solutions. You can easily see for yourself how much more enjoyable it would be to not have to worry about where your chemicals are going. In many cases, our chemical solutions are septic safe, and all of them are environmentally friendly. Simply visit the product pages on our website or check the label of the chemicals you have bough to see what the ingredients are and how septic safe that particular solution is. Not all of our products have the same effect upon your water supply system, so be sure and look at our expert rating of each product.

    Don’t put up with any drama, if you can help it. Making things simple with Envirosafe Solutions: (+61) 1300 88 90 70.

    Far Right, Far Left


    Dishwasher Powder
    Dishwasher Powder
    The truth is that political views about the earth are not really very different. Right and left views are actually pretty similar…they just have different names with different, supposedly, ideologies attached to the names. Of course, the fact of the matter is that both views are really talking about the same thing, getting the most out of our earth and doing so in a sustainable, renewable way.

    Let’s examine what these views have in common.

    The far right discusses individual rights and independence concerning what you do with your own belongings and how you dispose of your own trash. Often, the far right concerns itself in practical applications of survivalist methods and self sufficiency.

    This is not to say that making things renewable is not important in this case. Actually, the far right view tends to focus on the end result of the renewability cycle, rather than the process or journey itself.
    The far left discusses personal responsibility for the whole of the earth, and how we can make a difference if each and every one of us contributes a little bit to the preservation and sustainability of the entire earth.

    In the views of the far left, the process and actions taken are emphasized more than the end result. Some right followers find this viewpoint to be more depressing than focusing on the hope found in the end, but left followers often feel much better when a plan is delineated for them to follow.

    Both sides want the same thing.

    At Envirosafe Solutions, we have combined both viewpoints into something efficient and workable. Our solutions allow you to be both self sufficient and earth conscious. Our environmentally friendly range extends from antibacterial hand wash to rubber remover, and from dishwasher powder to multi-purpose lubricant. We have worked very hard to combine both sides of the chemical solution: the function and the eco friendly design.

    If you are interested in contacting Envirosafe Solutions to ask us any questions at all or to order one or more of our products, please feel free to do so. We want to bring eco friendly industrial liquid to companies all over Australia, and your custom is desired: (+61) 1300 88 90 70.

    Examining Modernization


    Diesel Bug Killer
    Diesel Bug Killer
    The great thing about modernization is that it typically means better, more efficient equipment, and overall less waste. However, that is not always the case. Sometimes, new equipment saves times but not resources, or resources but not time. When a tree is put into a wood chipper or sawing mill, most of the parts of the tree are sliced off as extra material. Now, this is good in saving time, because chopping down a tree is insanely time consuming. However, most of the wood of the tree is put to waste.

    On the other hand, if you enjoy beautiful quilts and you buy a completely handmade quilt, you are looking at a pretty pricey item. You are paying for the many hours of labor which were put into it and which were not part of the efficiency involved, but a loving part of the labor put into the item.

    modernization to your company. If you don’t understand certain details, hire someone who does understand them. Make sure that they walk you through the process of understanding if something really will be made more eco friendly over time than it already is and if the modernization will undo any eco friendly successes which were made in the past.

    You don’t have to worry about chemical modernization, though. Envirosafe Solutions provides a variety of environmentally friendly liquids, such as our marine glass cleaner, radiator cleaner, and rubber remover, just to name a few. We believe wholeheartedly in the efficiency and work that good, eco friendly liquid products can bring to the jobsite. We believe in anything which helps to sustain and renew our planet as a whole.

    You don’t have to worry about what the chemical waste from our products will do to the environment, we tell you ourselves as clearly as we can. No, you just have to enjoy the satisfaction and clear mind of a job well done and an earth well preserved. Examine any and all modernization occurring in your business, get down and dirty with the details, ask plenty of questions, and play your part in the protection and safety of our earth: (+61) 1300 88 90 70.

    Working with Pests, Not against Them

    Dishwasher Powder
    Dishwasher Powder
    When you are attempting to get rid of pests in your garden or field, remember that for every problem a pest brings, they also bring a solution to another pest or another issue. If you can leverage these pests in your own favor, then you do just about anything in the garden that you can possible dream of.

    Eco friendly liquid products are similar to the above statement. If you can clean and degrease your worksites without causing heavy erosion and corrosive effects, then you can do just about any type of maintenance on the jobsite without any concern for what may happen. There are a lot of problems which just need simple maintenance to keep them up, but in the past, due to the corrosive effects of the substances, it is impractical to keep applying more chemicals to the problem.

    Today, Envirosafe Solutions brings eco friendly industrial liquid into the picture, and we produce large quantities of high quality chemical solutions, which can be used for daily maintenance, if need be. Our products are high effective, so you will not need to use large quantities of them, but after every cleaning, you will not have high corrosive effects like you can have with other companies’ chemicals.
    The same thing applies to pest control. If you get rid of the pest altogether, then you have rid yourself of the solution they brought to the scene, as well. When your plants can develop strong and healthy in spite of the pests, then you are looking at a crop which will be sown again bigger and better than ever each year. However, if you continue to use high amounts of pest control and simply buy new seed each year, then you are depriving yourself of natural antibodies which the plants will grow stronger and stronger every year.

    Now that is something to consider, my friend.

    We carry both toilet bowl cleaner and sanitiser, both rubber remover and solvent free degreaser. Our goals are to help you achieve the best of both world, chemical and organic. We would be honored to be your chemical solution distributor. For more information, call Envirosafe Solutions today: (+61) 1300 88 90 70.

    Sustainable Advertising

    Dishwasher Rinse Aid
    Dishwasher Rinse Aid
    When you hear the words “sustainable advertising,” you most likely think of things like email marketing or website optimization, but you are probably pretty sure that it cannot involve paper products or anything made from wood.

    The truth is, however, being eco friendly does not mean that you have to give up paper products or even reduce them that much. You can achieve the same result with 100% recycled paper which, when used, can be re-recycled, thus avoiding any tree usage whatsoever.

    In addition to that, forestry demands that trees only be chopped down only above a certain point, so that the tree can re-grow the part which is harvested for wood products, anyway. This means that, even if you use wood products, as long as the company is using safe and renewable forestry techniques, you are not killing any trees, either. You are merely using the harvested portion of the tree, while the remainder of it is allowed to re-grow and to be harvested.

    In fact, during the hunter-gatherer periods of human history, many forestry techniques were done this way. Villages only used the parts of the tree that they absolutely needed and used the above mentioned forestry technique to retain the trees, while also being assured of wood products in the future for building, coopering, and a wide variety of other woodworking necessities, particularly when towns started being built and communities began to organize together.

    Hunter gatherer societies did not necessarily move all the time. For meat, they could have raised herds of animals, and for gathering, they could have eaten meat from nut trees, many of which heavily sustained early man. That is why the oak tree symbol has had such significance over the age of mankind. Today, we see it as a symbol of tradition or unity, but in reality, early humans used it as a main source of food.

    Envirosafe Solutions seeks to bring environmental cleaning products to the forefront of the eco friendly industries. Our eco friendly sanitiser, mould rid, and hard water laundry liquid are all a part of living a sustainable life, keeping your business eco friendly, and preserving the earth in the best possible way. To order our extreme green line of products, call us today: (+61) 1300 88 90 70.

    Fixed Income and Financial Composting

    Fixed Income and Financial Composting
    Fixed Income and Financial Composting
    When you are on a fixed income through whatever reason it may be, you must learn how to make ends meet in a steady, dependable way. You must also learn how to compost your finances so that they reap the biggest crop for the smallest amount of effort or investment. This is done by bringing some intuition, some creative innovation, and some thinking outside of the box to the situation.
    In fact, financial composting can be thought of as reinvestment. This form of getting the most money for your effort involves understanding how much you will invest in something and how much you can get out of it in the end. Buying a few dressed to sell online for a little more is great, as long as you already have a market in place for your dresses. Without the market, you are looking at an investment which may or may not yield your desired profits in the time allotted.
    However, you can still do a lot with what you have, no matter the case. If you have sure reinvestments set up, you can buy a little, sell for a little more, work a little, get paid a little more, and gradually increase your income to the point where you are above starvation or survival modes.
    This is true in business, as well.
    When you are looking to achieve the most good for your prices, you can achieve it through the use of products from Envirosafe Solutions. Marine glass cleaner, sanitiser, dishwashing liquid, and every other conceivable eco friendly chemical solution is available through our website, for bulk or small purchases, and accompanied by our excellent customer service. If you visit the product pages of our website, you will be able to ascertain the septic safety and potential biodegradability of each product, too. Mineral deposit remover, dishwasher powder, and other chemicals are available through us, and they are all planet friendly. We love our customers so much that we want to develop long lasting relationships with our business-to-business customer base. Be sure and place a sample purchase order with us first, try out our products, and order more when you need them. Be sure and call Envirosafe Solutions today: (+61) 1300 88 90 70.

    Don’t Burn the Grass!

    Pasturing is the art and science of keeping pasture lands sustainable, well watered and well covered in grass and critters which feed on everything. Without proper pasturing, livestock can overfeed on the grass before they are told to move on, grass can grow too tall and too wild, or the beginnings of desertification can occur because livestock is not allowed to properly fertilize the grass before it moves on to new pastures.
    In fact, misunderstanding about how to care for soil, grass, pasture lands and basic wild areas of growth has reached such a point that grass is burned down in order to create room for new growth. Unfortunately, one fact has been left out of the life cycle of good, healthy pastures.
    Grass needs to be fertilized.
    Also, the best fertilization is that which nature can provide, and has been providing, for thousands of years.
    That means that the livestock must be handled in such a way that they can eat and then fertilize the grass, and then the herd moves on to somewhere else. Pasture planners discovered this philosophy by studying how herds moved in the wild. What a novel idea! Now, by burning the grass, immense pasture lands in Africa and other parts of the world are taken over by desertification. In order to get abundance out of the land, proper pasturing must be renewed.
    By the same token, chemical solutions must deliver the promise that they make, while also not causing more problems at the same time. When you are cleaning your floors, you must be able to get it clean all of the way, while also not leaving behind a lot of sticky or toxic chemical residue.
    Enter a product about which we are very proud: Our solvent free degreaser.
    We carry other things, too, such as marine glass cleaner, dishwasher powder, and disinfectant. However, we are always careful that our chemical solutions do not just fix one problem while causing another at the same time. We are careful that our eco friendly liquid products are productive and tidy all at once.
    Now, you may not be into pasturing right now, but you probably still need to keep your business, your jobsites, and your home clean. Well, we are here for you. Call Envirosafe Solutions today: (+61) 1300 88 90 70.

    Check Up On Your Eco Solutions Team


    Many large companies have eco solutions teams to help them keep their operations earth eco friendly and to reduce waste and their impact upon the environment. However, there are many ways in which even that move may not fully pan out into the full potential that it could be. What are some ways to round off your company’s eco solutions team and what do we mean by telling you to check up on them?
    Not all divisions of your company are synergizing. With every company, you will find that there are divisions or sections of the business which are not quite as in sync with the rest of the business as you believe they should be. When this happens, organize an education of each division by their comrades so that everyone understands their own jobs and the responsibilities of others, and everyone is working together, instead of apart.

    Especially make sure that the accounting department and the Eco Friendly Industrial Liquid solutions teams are working together and are aware of each other’s initiatives. This is especially important regarding any tax breaks or cost reduction or financial incentives which are being handed out by your local or federal government at this time. If the account department is aware of your Environmental Cleaning Products efforts, then more money can be saved, more of our wonderful planet can be sustained, and more revenue can remain within your business.

    Make sure that your eco solutions team is modern. This is especially important if new incentives have recently been introduced or if new technology is renovating how companies, especially large international companies, are reducing cost, reducing fuel and emissions, and increasing self sufficiency. One of the most important reasons to remain self sufficient is to maintain a durable competitive advantage over your competition, i.e. other businesses in your industry and competing industry markets.

    Use discretion. Keep an eye on your eco solutions team’s progress and planning for new agendas. This is not to say that you should require notification about every small step, but talk to individual employees, especially management, about current projects once a week, and make sure that you are being kept in the loop on a fairly regular basis.

    Envirosafe Solutions offers one more way to keep your company as effective and as eco friendly as you can make it. Our eco friendly waste removal kits, absorbent spill kits, industrial degreasers, and industrial strength disinfectant are available for shipping today.

    Researching Green Movements in Your Neighborhood


    It is hard to make your life entirely extreme green eco friendly when you are not aware of all of the ecological resources available in your local community. For this reason, we have put together a list of ideas and ways in which you can research eco friendly movements in your own area, no matter where you live!
    Call your local chamber of commerce
    Every city has a chamber of commerce or a local chapter for business affiliations and this excellent place to start when looking for an established company or business operation which specializes in or includes eco friendly practices and environmental help.
    Practice your social networking skills
    Whether or not you are a whiz on Facebook or MySpace or Google+, social networking will get you into direct contact with fellow “green” followers who want to make a difference. Subscribe to the feeds of local eco friendly organizations and people who are passionate about the earth, and you will receive live feed of all the latest developments and ways in which you can help sustain your local economy!
    Network in person
    When you go out to a rally, pick up all of the flyers which are available and talk to all of the organizations which are represented. Become actively involved, if not in the movement itself, in learning about ecological advances and in hearing about what each person can do to improve earth sustainability and fuel efficiency and biodegradable products! When you get home, take out your notepad and list all of the organizations involved. Then, make a separate list of all the features you would like in a charitable organization that you would donate to financially. Make phone calls, email representatives of each group and find out which are the most suited to your charitable abilities and interests!
    Ask everyone
    When you go out to eat or go to the symphony or the opera or you simply have a business meeting, ask people around you what they do to help protect the environment and about their own participation in local organizations. That way, you can hear about and judge different operations without having to spend a great deal of time and effort exploring each one individually, one after the other.
    Envirosafe Solutions offers eco friendly cleaners, Toilet Bowl Cleaner, and lubricants. We offer a 30-day money back guarantee, so that you can try our products and see how effective they really are, with no danger to your initial investment.

    Green Printers for Your Home or Office


    Even office work must be kept in mind when choosing eco friendly liquid products. Machines which require electricity, fuel, or heavy maintenance can be both costly and damaging to the earth. Fortunately, there are some options available to the office green freak. This is especially helpful for paper consuming products, such as printers and copiers.

    Reduce your paper output

    Before we begin our tour of green printing methods, it is always a good idea to try to reduce your need for paper products as much as possible. Some companies are able to operate entirely online. American internet service provider, Clear, runs an entirely paperless system where bills are only available in an online account and you can only receive paper copies of these bills if you print them off yourself. GreenerPrinter.com also offers reduction of paper output to only stocking and printing on paper that is recyclable, often using 100% recycled paper.

    Use sustainable inks in your printer

    Pixxlz.com, an eco friendly printing company, uses soy and water based inks to make sure that the printed paper is even more recyclable. Without using oil, the ink is more sustainable and can appear brighter on the paper. Pixxlz.com also uses chemical-free toner in their printing presses.

    Use energy saving printers

    In 2009, HP launched energy-saving printers which used only a fraction of the electrical wattage of comparable printers, as well as printing multiple document content on single pages and having an option for automatically printing on both sides of the paper, reducing paper waste and usage.

    2011 brought Epson into the picture, which reduced the necessary amount of power to operate by 80% to 90%. The sleep mode of this printer also focuses on conserving energy, which reduces both energy consumption and cost of energy consumption.

    Reduce carbon emissions

    The 2011 Epson printer also is made with minimal usage of paint in the manufacturing process, reducing their carbon footprint by approximately 9,300 tons. Companies should always be aware of the fact that their extreme green image, as well as their revenue, could be improved through research and development of a better, safer, and easier way to make products, particularly products with recyclable parts.

    What are the Efficiency Standard Edition and the Equipment Energy Efficiency Program (E3)?


    Today Envirosafe Solutions, producers of eco friendly liquid products brings you news about the Efficiency Standard Edition and the Equipment Energy Efficiency Program– a quarterly publication that brings you up to date news on energy efficiency and the need for sourcing efficient whitegoods and electronic products.
    Appliances generate an enormous amount of greenhouses gases. This is now a proven fact. This actually means that all of us in the developed world contribute significantly to greenhouse gas issues and emissions and the way we live has a direct and dire affect on our planet and the future of the world.
    A real and concerted approach to this fact – one that entails personal accountability and a willingness to change – is at the very heart of what is needed for ongoing change that can save the planet from dire environmental consequences.
    The E3 Program
    The E3 Program in Australia seeks to inform and implement requirements in relation to the MEPS or minimum extreme green energy efficiency requirements and mandatory energy rating labels that are now an inherent part of appliance purchase in Australia.
    The program began in 1993 when it was realised that various activities in relation to power consumption by appliances needed a national and co-ordinated approach. Initially the program only referred to refrigerators and freezers which were viewed as the main offenders of CFC production.  Since then, the program has expanded its application to many appliances and has also been adopted by New Zealand as a meaningful strategy in the fight against greenhouse gas emissions.
    The E3 now reports back to the Energy Efficiency Working Group and to the Ministerial Council on Energy. The basis for inclusion of new appliances depends on the community benefit that will arise if a particular appliance becomes part of the program.
    Market intervention in the form of labeling

    Most of you will be familiar with it. You walk into a major retail or appliance store and nearly every appliance is labelled in the corner with a large yellow star rated sticker that tells you how much energy the appliance uses. This system is actually viewed as “the world best regulatory target” and Australia needs to be extremely proud of this system. It informs, educates and safeguards the environment against the possibility of excessive energy use when more energy efficient Environmental Cleaning product alternatives may be available.

    The Efficiency Standard Edition

    This is a quarterly publication that offers you more detailed appliance information as it comes to light in the retail and government sectors. The kind of information outlined gives you a thorough insight into new products. For example, the last edition in 2010 took a comprehensive look at home entertainment systems which account for around 5% of household energy use in Australia.

    Envirosafe Solutions supports the government dissemination of information about energy use by appliances. Envirosafe Solutions also produces eco friendly products for homes, business and industry.

    Mining ban sparks environmental debate



    A piece of wilderness in the north of South Australiahas been declared out of bounds for mining. The landmark decision to protect Arkaroola from mining has been a costly blow for explorer Marathon Resources but has been applauded by the green revolution.


    After years of debate the unique Arkaroola Wilderness Sanctuary in South Australia’s Flinders Ranges has been declared a mining-free zone.


    Premier Mike Rann made the announcement on July 24 and won widespread community support for the environmental stance, although concerns have been raised about potential compensation costs.


    Mining company Marathon Resources and its legal team have entered discussions with the State Government after investing heavily in mining exploration in the area. Shares in the junior explorer fell after the mining ban was announced.


    Marathon was granted an exploration license for the uranium-rich area this year, after being banned for dumping waste in 2008. It had been preparing to start drilling in what it has described as the ‘fifth-biggest undeveloped uranium deposit in Australia’.


    Walking the tightrope


    The Arkaroola ban has highlighted the balancing act involved in exploiting the nation’s rich natural resources while protecting vulnerable and unique environments.


    Australian mining companies are widely regarded as world-leaders in establishing best practice mining.


    The industry has a code of practice governing site restoration, air emissions, contamination, water and hazardous materials management. Switching to eco-friendly industrial liquids instead of harsh chemicals (such as the popular Extreme Green range which includes dust suppressor and non-toxic cleaners) or finding uses for mineral-rich mining waste are significant steps forward.


    Yet mining continues to leave a heavy environmental footprint – soil erosion, loss of biodiversity, water contamination from non-eco-friendly liquid products and native vegetation removal are part of the price.


    These concerns prompted the decision to protect Arkaroola, which will be excised from the State’s Mining Act and nominated for National Heritage Listing.


    The South Australian Chamber of Mines and Energy has labelled the decision short-sighted, claiming it failed to accommodate future technological advances, such as mining without surface disturbance.


    Compensation talks continue but for the South Australian community support for the mining ban remains high – it appears the public wants a line to be drawn in the sand. Some areas just shouldn’t be touched.


    The way forward lies in developing improved technologies and continuing to implement best practise across Australia’s mining sector. Perth-based environmental cleaning products company Envirosafe Solutions proudly supports the mining sector’s green efforts by supplying the industry with its Extreme Green product range.

    Graffiti – If you Spray You Pay


    Extreme Green Graffiti Remover

    Graffiti continues to pose a substantial cost to local and state governments, nationally. Time and again, community members wake to find an expanse of pristine wall across the road from their homes or businesses, “tagged” with the latest spray painted graphics of street artists who use public and private wall spaces, roads and street surfaces as their canvases. It is an ongoing problem and an ongoing concern and costs the taxpayer millions of dollars each year.
    In an effort to curb the problem, South Australian Police have proposed a new approach, stating that offenders should be made to pay compensation.
    At the moment, the laws governing graffiti in South Australia are under review and up for consideration are ideas in relation to effective punitive measures that actually deter graffiti artists from tagging. South Australian Police Commissioner Mal Hyde believe “a HECS style scheme where offenders are made to pay compensation for the damage their graffiti causes, once their income is high enough,” may be the way to approach it.

    Director of the South Australian Youth affairs Council, Anne Bainbridge disagrees and says restorative justice s a more effective method of dealing with youth graffiti. “This entails young people who have committed graffiti vandalism being involved in cleaning the vandalism or restoring the vandalism, and also engaging with the broader community about the effect that behavior has on the community.”

    The problem is so significant Australia wide, that the New South Wales government has even issued a detailed publication on graffiti for use by local government, planners and designers. Titled the “NSW Graffiti Solutions Handbook,” it outlines the cost to the community, its sub-cultural value to youth as a component of contemporary pop culture, as well as various means and ways of addressing the management of graffiti and its removal, across the state.  Part of the approach entails educating youth on the development of legal pieces in designated local government areas or areas where youths might congregate such as youth centers, skate parks and recreational parks.
