Positive action at work and in your community
Being part of the global effort on climate change is an essential and worthwhile task. If you have already made your home more energy efficient, why not think about getting your workplace or community involved?
At work, improving the management of waste or introducing a policy of turning off lights and computers at night can make a big difference to the environment and to overheads.
In the community, why not get together a group of like-minded people to take on a project planting native trees or you could set up a car-pooling club? You can also talk to your local council about what you can do to help.
The government has already announced a number of practical, everyday measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and more are in development.
The government also wants to talk with New Zealanders about the different options so keep abreast of new developments.
