Reducing our carbon footprint

From Afternoons, 1:32 pm on 9 November 2018

Transport is responsible for a huge chunk of New Zealand's overall greenhouse gas emissions. 

If we change the way we do things, we could reduce that carbon footprint by up to 90 percent by 2050. 

That's the vision of a new report out today by advisors at sustainability group thinkstep. 

We'd need new vehicle technologies, investment in renewable energy, and a shift in behaviour to do it though. Dr Jeff Vickers, Technical Director of thinkstep, is here to tell us how.
