Taranaki prepares for a new future. How will you contribute?

Reporter Taranaki Daily News

Carbon emissions have grown 20 per cent in the past decade, and we need to be paying attention. We need to be asking what we will be driving, where we will be working, and what we will be eating, to change our lifestyle by 2050.

Educational institutions, such as Taranaki's Western Institute of Technology will be handed a role of upskilling an already highly skilled workforce during the transition towards a low emission economy.

Current ideas include having a car-free day each week, switching to LED lighting and turning appliances off at the wall. What do you currently do to help reach zero carbon? Do you think it's an issue we need to be putting more importance on NOW?
