| New Zealand’s Prime Minister, Helen Clark, this week announced she aspired for her country “to be carbon neutral in our economy and way of life." She set the bar even higher with this proclamation: "I believe New Zealand can aim to be the first nation to be truly sustainable across the four pillars of the economy, society, the environment, and nationhood." Some of the measures include 3.4% biofuel as a portion of fuel sales by 2012 (which will be music to the ears of the Diversa project), plus all government agencies are to use energy efficient transport and buildings, reduce fuel bills and buy only recycled paper. Pleasing to see a little country thinking big.
