Another citizen assembly in NZ and their surprising outcome. newsroom.co.nz/2026/09/07/c... I wonder what commitment the Council has given to the deliberation, whether they will implement it or not... That's always the issue with any public consultation. Does anyone know?

Can a room full of strangers solve problems MPs can't?

Fixing complex problems usually involves difficult, unpalatable decisions. One solution: randomly select a group of ordinary people to debate the pros and cons and find a way forward.

NZ government extracted more fossil fuels, damaged the environment by encouraging mining, raised the limits of water pollution, opened conservation land to economic interests, put climate issues under the carpet... Now this government acts offended when caught. Funny. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Another very important reason to keep all the forests and stop extracting fossil fuels and destroying the environment and polluting it so much that the climate and biodiversity, life are changing. Sadly another tipping point. I hope people take #climateaction ASAP share.google/WzImCHkbXror...

Without water, forests lose their ability to absorb CO₂

To survive dry spells, trees stop the water-rich process of photosynthesis. When nature’s natural carbon capture machine grinds to a halt entire forests end up producing more CO₂ than they absorb.

The "Grow the Economy" motto is sickening in the election campaign. Growth and sustainability are incompatible in a finite world. We need to find a steady state where everyone has ENOUGH. I have found my enough. I live with less than $25K per year, quite comfortably. Simplicity. What's your enough?

To keep drilling, Big Oil needs permission to dump treated fracking wastewater into rivers and onto cropland. We don’t have to give it to them.

Yes and yes. I feel sorry for Mr Gutteres, so helpless in such a seemingly powerful place... Polluting is not ok and polluter pays is an essential tool. Yes to charging the companies, they will pass the cost to consumers so the consumption of polluting stuff will reduce. Win win.
