Comment on Seminar Series – Indigenous Knowledge and Sustainable Urban design by Waikare Komene

Kia Ora, my name is Waikare Komene and I am a student finishing of my Masters in Architecture. My project this year is about designing a self sustaining community or eco-village based on the holistic approach to indigenous practices and in particular Maori values or Tikanga.

I am not sure if I am able to make the seminar tonight at the Otago House in Auckland, but will definitely try to be there.
If I am unable to attend, is there anyway that I could gather information and topics discussed at tonight seminar, as this information will be useful for my own progress and to understand what action is been taken to deal with these issues.

Hope to be there, if not will be there in spirit.

Hello,
I am teaching a landscape architecture studio at Victoria University about urban agriculture in Wellington’s town Belt. We are very much interested in finding any information, or inviting any speakers to lecture on indigenous knowledge and sustainable design in regards to community gardens especially in urban areas.
thanks

Comment on New Zealand’s 2020 Emissions Target by Paul Baker

Paul Baker — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 07:46:54 +0000

Why shouldn’t New Zealanders expect their Government to lead by example by undertaking its own publicly funded afforestation program equal to the greenhouse gas emissions of the public sector, publicly owned corporations and those not able to do so for themselves? This is preferable to locking up private sector resources and discouraging future forest investment.

Past Governments could not sell State forests fast enough when money was deemed most important. Now that wider forestry benefits are recognised, there is hesitance in doing the right thing. Instead, time extensions are given to other carbon emitters exacerbating the problem. Where is the leadership?
