On being green
Posted by

I’ve just cycled a total of 11 kilometers to attend 2 separate meetings. I arrived on time, stress free and (thankfully) still smelling fresh. As my location is right in the heart of Queenstown, I could probably service local clients as far away as Frankton by bicycle, weather permitting of course.
I never really thought about the implications of what I’d just done until I got back to the office and mentioned it to a friend. Apparently that makes Darkside Media an eco-aware, socially responsible business.
I don’t know if I buy it, but it’s a great line none the less.
How green are you?

doing it one time is fine but lets see if you are still peddling back and forward in 6 months time!
I live in Christchurch, and very near uni. I walk pretty much everywhere, or take a bus when its too far to walk. Christchurch is fairly lucky, in that its quite flat and well laid out, so a bus system makes sense, and its implemented well here.
I guess I’m ‘green’ purely as a byproduct, I don’t go out of my way to try and do this. Some credit must be given to the Christchurch bus system, as if it wasn’t so good, I would have to drive myself.
Why is Christchurch public transport so well done in comparison to other New Zealand cities? I didn’t even think the Dunedin system was all that good when I lived there..
Speaking of which, I put this up today. A fascinating TED speech about ice loss based on time-lapse video footage. http://www.esport.co.nz/news/2009/09/extreme-ice-loss/
slick page chris!
everyone in QT seems so outdoorsy, must be a great place to live!
Ha how did this tiny little web page gett so many RTs. that video with the collapsing ice is cool. all the best.
Being green is overrateddddd

you should definitely do that

My bike got stolen =(
I dont know how much i buy those collapsing ice pictures. Just because they look spectacular and stuff dosnt really mean anything. Only the graph at the start of the movie really said anything relevant?
your such a hippy chris get back in your car and do some pollutin’
skiing today? ur probably busy being a business man, but lets hit the slopes this afternoon! oh btw pretty sure that guy from chch is keen to make something beautiful happen if you know what i mean…
lata gata
if your not eating sustainable food though, when you get home and you need more energy because of the exercise arnt you hurting the plant anyway just in another way?
