When reviewing NZ’s AgHort products, the Ministry for Regulation must consider how little is currently known about these products, where they are used & their environmental effects. PCE’s submission questions the current ‘hands off’ approach. bit.ly/aghortsub

Chemicals are everywhere. Yet we know so little about their whereabouts, and even less about how much is used. So how can we act when an accident happen. Let alone prevent them to happen effectively. – at Wellington City, New Zealand

the ETS is not a panacea... far from it.
The ‘least cost approach’ of New Zealand’s draft second emissions reduction plan risks passing on significant costs to future generations. The PCE’s submission on the plan says NZ is taking a massive gamble by relying on current ETS settings. Read more: bit.ly/erp2pce

Let's not approach science as one big bulk beast. Environmental, health, space, social, traditional, engineering, AI, etc. address different questions and need different management and funding mechanisms. One system does not rule them all – at Nelson City, New Zealand
No one else will tackle our problems or understand our bit of the planet for the same reason we will. Our environmental science investment needs to provide core non-contestable funding to do this. Read our submission to the Science Systems Advisory Group: bit.ly/PCEsub
