The Green Party has, quite rightly, challenged the government's sustainability credibility. It is relatively easy for Helen Clark to challenge New Zealanders to become 'the first truly sustainable nation' but to lead by example? Well, that's another story!

Greens issue sustainability challenge to Government
Further to my post about Helen Clark's speech and our PM's challenge to her citizens to make New Zealand the World's first truly sustainable nation, the government have launched Sustainable a well designed and useful website with tips and advice on reducing our carbon footprints and living more sustainably.
Electric vehicles are hitting the news regularly these days, and there's been some good discussion of them on this site. But are they really the answer - or an answer - to our transport problems? And can electric public transport also help to lessen transport's wretched greenhouse gas emissions record and make us less vulnerable to Peak Oil?
