Anyone prepared to complain about free food....doesnt need free food.
Our energy! More people in NZ ! More power!
Food and tastes. Democracy! Let kids have lots of input what is provided.
Hungry kids will eat wat u give them it's not a restaurant if they
won't eat it they are not hungry
I don't see skinny kids everywhere
If one town has skinny kids point
them out im interested.
"Let's face it, this school program might not have been necessary. I work in a school, and I've noticed kids eating twice as much by lunchtime when they're least attentive. Some healthy morning snacks may be more beneficial.
Regarding those on benefits-while some frequent the bakery, others manage nutritious meals on tight budgets. The bakery run is a morning ritual for some families, tasty but not ideal for learning. I've been there, grabbing bakery treats when running late.
Wind farmers must have lots storage.
If more people had solar power and small wind power at their home ( day time surplus being sold into the gride) it would help.
Solar and wind like electric cars aren't worth the squeeze
Interesting how Labour MPs are taught to 1) never acknowledge good points, and 2) answer a question not asked
U tube : planet of humans.. Sad stuff.. Well worth a watch..
M Laws . N Z First 2017 -2020. NZ First changed its voice. If you track back on S Jones and W Peters you see they have changed there opinions a awful lot over the years.
She's never there, has no interest in the area, has ignorant young assistants manning (womanning) her surgeries. Making sure they're completely ignorant of policies so they can't answer questions, just promise Ingrid will get back to you, and she never does. Attaching Taieri/Tokomairiro to South Dunedin deprived us of our voice and our advocate. Dirty tricks.
So true🤣
While the push towards renewable energy is undoubtedly well-intentioned, aiming to decrease our carbon footprint, it's essential to shine a light on the broader environmental and logistical challenges this transition presents. The production of solar panels, wind turbines, and storage batteries involves intensive mining and manufacturing processes, ironically relying heavily on fossil fuels. This not only emits substantial amounts of carbon dioxide and other pollutants but somewhat undermines the goals these technologies are supposed to achieve.
Furthermore, the extensive land required for wind farms and solar arrays often encroaches on ecologically sensitive areas, leading to potential habitat destruction and ecological imbalances. Such environmental costs, including the challenges of recycling or disposing of these technologies once they're obsolete, are seldom fully explored in the rush to adopt zero-emission technologies.
Amidst this, the focus on net-zero emissions overshadows equally critical environmental issues such as waste management and deforestation. The obsession with carbon dioxide as the primary villain ignores the devastating impact of unmanaged waste and the reckless destruction of forests. It is imperative to broaden our environmental strategies beyond CO2 reduction to include robust waste management and forest conservation, which are crucial for maintaining ecological balance and biodiversity.
A truly sustainable future requires a commitment to scientific integrity and a willingness to reassess and refine our approaches continuously. It's time for policymakers to embrace a more nuanced understanding of sustainability that includes a mix of energy sources and recognizes the limitations and impacts of each, rather than succumbing to overly simplistic solutions. This balanced energy policy should not only focus on emissions but also consider the preservation of our natural ecosystems and the holistic health of our planet.
Small wind turbines on house! Solar power on each house can contribute. This requires no additional land.
Good points about making the equipment to produce solar and wind power.
How is NZ going with wave/tide power production?
@@adsdft585 "I believe Earthships represent a far superior approach to utilizing renewable energy. While I'm no expert, I've long been an enthusiast of off-grid living and have often wondered why houses aren't built as independent power units. It seems that such a design could challenge the profit-making model of traditional power companies and promote greater independence."
So delusional !!!
