Vancouver Throws Down the Gauntlet

[Pete Russell]

Vancouver plans to the world's greenest city by 2020.

So what are we going to do about that Auckland?

They certainly have their compost together by the looks of their 'Talk Green to Us' site.

I wonder if this new Auckland 'Super City' can live up to it's name and get in the running to join Vancouver on a challenge that means we all win?

If you know of any passionate new members of council who are looking to make a difference, why not share this site with them to whet their appetite for change?

A city lead initiative like this one in Vancouver could be just the thing we need to tip us into a truly sustainable society within the next 10 years.

If you want Auckland (or your own city if you're not in Auckland) to take up the challenge just say 'Aye' in the comments box below.

AYE, the whole of new zealand is my call. our population is that of a city anyway, just spread out. bring it. all our cities and districts could be doing this...
