I've never been a hard-core supporter of the project, but I was convinced that for the particular vision the proponents had in mind, there was no better site. marineeducationcentre sanctuary issues conservation blogs Tue, 25 Sep 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://wellurban.blogspot.com/2007/09/all-at-sea.html WellUrban 2007-09-25T00:00:00Z -41.2917079 174.7521904 Zealandia, Lake Road, Highbury, Wellington, Wellington Region, 6011, New Zealand http://wellurban.blogspot.com/2007/09/how-is-air-up-there.html Urban turbines seem to be catching on. This vertical-axis turbine has recently popped up atop the "i-Centre" at 50 Manners St, there's a smaller one on top of the already environmentally-advanced Conservation House down the road, and the Vector Energy trial turbine that I wrote about in June will be installed on The Terrace. conservation blogs Wed, 12 Sep 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://wellurban.blogspot.com/2007/09/how-is-air-up-there.html WellUrban 2007-09-12T00:00:00Z http://wellurban.blogspot.com/2007/06/breath-of-fresh-air.html While the council's first moves after announcing their "carbon neutral" aspirations were dubious to the point of being counter-productive, here's one very tiny step in the right direction. Vector Energy is trialling urban micro-turbines, first in Waitakere and then in Wellington. conservation blogs Thu, 28 Jun 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://wellurban.blogspot.com/2007/06/breath-of-fresh-air.html WellUrban 2007-06-28T00:00:00Z http://wellurban.blogspot.com/2007/06/how-not-to-go-carbon-neutral.html A couple of weeks ago, Wellington City Council decided that Wellington should aspire to become carbon neutral. Since then,a council-controlled organisation has started promoting cheap weekend parking; andthe Regional Council plans to increase bus and train fares by 10%. conservation parking transport fares blogs Tue, 26 Jun 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://wellurban.blogspot.com/2007/06/how-not-to-go-carbon-neutral.html WellUrban 2007-06-26T00:00:00Z http://wellurban.blogspot.com/2007/06/neutral-aspirations.html Thanks to ShoppingFix for pointing out that at tonight's Strategy & Policy meeting, Wellington City Council will consider becoming carbon neutral. At first I thought that this just referred to the council's own operations, but on reading the report it turns out that they also intend for the whole city of Wellington to become carbon neutral. conservation wcc government blogs Thu, 07 Jun 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://wellurban.blogspot.com/2007/06/neutral-aspirations.html WellUrban 2007-06-07T00:00:00Z
