Dr Mels Barton. Ecology of a Supercity, Governance and Democracy
GreenplanetFM 104.6 Thursday 1st July 8-9am
Dr Mels Barton. Ecology of a Supercity, Governance and Democracy
Listen online at any time by clicking here.
Listen to a clear and lucid understanding of what the many grass roots and
volunteer groups are doing to make NZ sustainable and the excellent work
they do, what charitable trusts support them, how local government needs
more consciousness to see that an ecological approach to environment,
health and community are critical to where we are going as a nation.
That at a national level, the Government still sees the environment as
'something' to exploit, when for example, in England Marks and Spence the
huge super store has gone sustainable and is producing larger profits,
because of going more into organics and a healthier lifestyle.
On top of this the NZ Resource Management Act is perceived as woolly, in
that there are no numbers in it, no targets, or standards, and that we are
20 years behind Europe in writing and complying with policy. When in fact
we could be the planetary leader!
Finally, an exceptionally clear summary about the Supercity, Governance
and Loss of Democracy. Plus, what is the Search and Surveillance Bill that
is being foisted upon us, a peaceful nation of only 4 million kiwis? Why
such draconian measures and who it there right mind would conjure up such
a hideous concept?
