Action on Fossil Fools Day - 1st April

There are lots of great opportunities to show our concern about our greenhouse gas emissions, and our appetite for strong action on climate.

The Global Day of action on Dec 8th last year was a good example of how we call all be organising actions and events in our communities.

There are three more days of action in the pipeline, which have been called by Rising Tide. Info is below.

Who here in Aotearoa is keen to get involved in any or all of these? Lets start the discussion...!

Soil Association Lecture

The Soil Association UK's annual lecture was given by author Richard Heinberg at Central Hall, Westminster, London last month. Entitled "What will we eat when the oil runs out?" highlighted the changes we need to make soon if we are to avoid the 4 imminent crises in food, fuel, climate change and depletion of natural resources that await us if we do nothing!

Take public transport. Ferries, trains and buses are the most fuel efficient forms of transport. On busy routes you'll get there quicker thanks to special bus lanes. Bus routes connect most suburbs and towns around the country and it's not just an urban myth, the world really is more fascinating when seen from a bus window! Demand cheaper, more frequent public transport options.

About 40% of New Zealand's greenhouse gases are thanks to transport, mostly private cars.
