We'd do well to pinpoint why New Zealanders are consistently ranking recycling as the number 1 most impactful thing they can do as individuals as a solution to climate change. We're obsessed with plastic and recycling... This is way off -it's roughly 60th down the list.

we have a remarkable opportunity to finalise a long-term energy strategy for New Zealand. Key leverage point is electrification: Current total energy supply according to the IEA: oil 34%, geothermal 25%, natural gas 17%, hydro 11%, coal 7.6%, bioenergy and waste 4.9%, solar and

Toddler repeatedly hospitalised due to living in a rental full of mould.. 50 percent of renters have mould in their home, while for owner-occupiers it's just under 30 percent.. most people would find this surprising we have the data, we know the solutions.. #sustainablehomes

If you, like me, you've attended NZ’s Climate Change & Business Conference over the years? we now know that our attendance this year generated emissions of 50.48kgCO2e per person. To put that in possibly more familiar terms... that’s roughly equivalent to 40 bottles of wine per

High fives for terrific 2025!

Regulation isn’t the major driver here, it's 2025 If you’re a high emitter: banks won’t lend you $ investors won’t give you equity customers won’t buy your products employees won’t want to work for you Being a high emissions business in 2025 makes you vulnerable & expensive

Impact reporting is more than a box-ticking exercise—it’s your passport to global markets.

It's here! a low cost, fast build, climate positive house 🌏 Climate Positive? Carbon modelling undertaken by our team shows a net positive carbon balance of -12,056 kgCO₂e .. the CO₂e stored in its materials & reduced through clean energy export outweighs its total emissions

An affordable climate positive home - built in just 6 weeks! Six weeks?! Yep - here’s the proof. Time-lapse. Climate Positive?  Modelling by our team showed that the CO₂e stored in its materials & reduced through exporting clean energy outweighs lifecycle emissions
