Transport

The way we get around has a huge impact on the environment. Private car use accounts for 25 % of our carbon dioxide emissions in New Zealand. There are a number of things we can do to reduce car use, make car use more efficient and decrease emissions in the process.

Transport in our community

Getting to know your community has enormous spin offs...
 
You may already be knocking on the neighbour's door for the odd egg or cup of flour but what about combining forces on how you get around?

How can your school make a difference when it comes to transport?
 
Providing a safe environment for our kids is paramount - so whether they ride to school, join a walking bus or become streetwise rangers it must be fun and safe as well as sustainable.
