I read that Mr Aulis Allen is fearing catastrophe if we act on climate change civilisation is doomed which is a worry to young people and investors world wide.
Perhaps for some clarity your team might want to investigate The Green New Deal, The Sunrise Movement, Justice Democrats, Labour for a green new deal (UK)

Yes our wasteful shitty oil powered stupid greed economy has to fall, but it is rubbish anyway, especially it’s clear it’s coming to a dead end. However life is full of challenges and humans are a highly resourceful species especially the impetuous European Neanderthal Homosapien Hybrids.. Many are chomping at the bit to get stuck in and fix it.

This is the Issue of our time so throw out the old Rupert Murdoch Play Book and give us all some hope for a change .
Our NZ Green Party needs to reboot to the next level, Dolphin Huggers, old Hippies and culture shamers are not going to “cut it” in a world that is unkind to snowflakes.
It’s about Humanity now. We may have Neolithic minds Medieval Institutions and God Like Weapons but a good percentage don’t want to die on a hill made of money. 

Mayors should battle for the environment

Posted 5 January 2018 to the Otago Daily Times Newspaper Dunedin NZ.

I was starting to wonder if the population has ANY free will when it comes to saving the environment but today someone has had enough of plastic straws and is getting traction in the media...

Years ago I wrote to several Key Mayors including Tim Shadbolt of Invercargill if they could join together for the people they represent and do what central government cant seem to do... Fight Waste which is a huge ratepayer Burdon.

Problem number one is multinationals make tons of non returnable containers of which they expect ratepayers to dispose of into our environment and our lame Government caved into this without so much as a whimper.

Even the Green Party appears mute on this subject.

 As someone in the hospitality industry I am alarmed buy the increasing amount of this trash like water bottles that where never even a remote a necessity in the past.

And why old school paper grocery bags are not a choice in a country that makes so much paper is beyond me.

Go on mayors, try and get your free will back and do something hopeful !
