He's coming to Aotearoa New Zealand to film some bits for a BBC series he's presenting, Another Chance To See, where he's travelling the world, checking up on endangered species. While he's in Wellington, he'll be visiting the Karori Wildlife Sanctuary to see how the kakapo is doing (rather karori sanctuary places conservation blogs featured Mon, 29 Dec 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://wellingtonista.com/super-fry The Wellingtonista 2008-12-29T00:00:00Z -41.2917079 174.7521904 Zealandia, Lake Road, Highbury, Wellington, Wellington Region, 6011, New Zealand http://wellingtonista.com/hot-theatre BATS Theatre's new play Heat starts this Friday, and has been selling itself on an unusual point: "eco-theatre". The show's lights and sound will be completely off-grid, and the preparations for the sustainable energy sources were visible over the weekend. Such a ploy could come across as gimmicky, but it's designed to mimic the constraints of its setting, an Antarctic survival capsule. conservation theatre performingarts blogs featured Mon, 03 Nov 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://wellingtonista.com/hot-theatre The Wellingtonista 2008-11-03T00:00:00Z -41.293547 174.784506 1 Kent Terrace, Wellington, New Zealand http://wellingtonista.com/the-greens-recyclers-extraordinaire This particular Wellingtonista was just down at a protest taking place at the Greater Wellington Regional Council offices.

But it's not all expansion and increasing profits. Recently the eco-friendly cab company has had to defend itself against statements from the head of the Taxi Federation. Then they had to fend off claims from other taxi companies (Combined in this case) that they were also "green". conservation taxi transport blogs featured Thu, 12 Jun 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://wellingtonista.com/it-aint-easy-being-green-cabs The Wellingtonista 2008-06-12T00:00:00Z http://wellingtonista.com/turn-off-your-lights-8-9pm-tomorrow-saturday Support the Earth Hour initiative tomorrow (Sat 28th) and turn off your lights between 8pm-9pm. But it will be dark! I know ... fun eh!? Light candles, play spooky games (I recommend Werewolf) or tell ghost stories - in essence HAVE FUN! And it's not just about the lights, that's the minimum.
