An article published today again highlights the lack of foresight and commitment by the NZ government to green issues. It was confirmed yesterday that the government’s goal of a “carbon neutral” public service, including a programme to help households become more energy efficient, has been axed due to “cost savings”.
Is this yet another dose of short sightedness? When in reality energy savings and carbon-neutral programmes can actaully provide a positive financial return. Eg solar hot water systems or grid tied PV systems on government buildings.
New Zealands clean green 100% pure image is yet again being tarnished, if it actually exists at all!
