Hello Jacky and Simon

Greetings from Samoa. Elaine Newman has introduced another dimension into
the Bali project that requires your serious thought and attention for the
long term sustainability of the project.

Looking at Elaine's mirror,  in recent years consumption trends, attitudes
and values are changing at geometrical rates (a simple survey will provide
the necessary evidence). The driving forces behind these changes include
emerging concepts such as
eco-tourism, vegetarism, naturalism, animal welfarism, etc. Some of  which
have, and would change established or traditional institutions for ever. A
classical example is the phasing out of the cage system for egg production
in Europe based on welfare concerns etc. Along similar concern a group in
Adelaide (Paul Harris et. al. ?) designed a futuristic eco-shelter for pigs
with immense potential for commercial pig producers in Europe, for after
the cage layer saga next would be confined pigs.

Jacky, the Bali project requires an eco-touch not only a Midas touch.
In-addition, concepts built on tourism would be as fluid as the tourist
industry, so please have a glance at Elaine's mirror, to see both sides of
the road. As a civil servant in Nigeria I cherished any crocodile based
menu, processed crocodile skin goods (such as shoes) etc, but my kids the
X-generation? would say Auk! as long as it is not from McDonalds, eco-synthetic,
or pig meat from "Harris's" eco shelter (with my apologies to Paul) .

Have a nice day Jacky.
