If only there were a simple trick to increase demand. While you’re at it sign long term leases, match to long term mortgages and stop making people move. www.rnz.co.nz/news/busines...

This is great. Of course a total ban of cars from all of Queen St. is the right answer, but play silly games...

Biomass using waste material makes sense. Cutting down trees to make pellets that you then burn is increasingly obviously nonsense.
Picking back up after the winter break, and one thing I’m keeping an eye out for this year is whether there will finally be a shift away from subsidies for "renewable" biomass, especially in the power sector.

Lot’s of fun to cycle past them with a large load of a competitors products.
Let’s boycott businesses who don’t support The Golden Mile and city cycle routes and make space for new businesses who want to part of a low carbon future.
The future of the city is low carbon and relies on a strong public transport network. As @thomasnash.bsky.social argues, the continuation of the Golden Mile will be a key part of that success www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3604...
