Sustainable Transport Action
Auckland based reasearcher Lenny Bloksburg recently swapped his old car for Honda Insight and outlined to GreenFleet his business case for making the change to a hybrid.
Drivers that drive responsibly will save your company damage, fuel, and servicing costs as well as having the potential to reduce fleet insurance premiums.
If you've got a fleet out on the road there will always be associated risks.
Research has shown that the ability to drive economically is prevented by a lack of understanding and a lack of the appropriate skills and techniques. Fortunately sustainable driver training programs like those offered by SharpDrive, Ecodriver, or SurePlan are becoming more readily available to businesses in New Zealand.
The Honda TreeFund was developed to assist in the restoration of bio-diversity. It provides an opportunity for customers to become involved in the greening of their own local community and encourage local bio-diversity.
For a business that literally runs on its ability to visit clients face to face across New Zealand, it’s absolutely vital to keep a mobile sales force humming along. Committed to reducing its environmental impact and reduce fuel costs, Hachette NZ called on GreenFleet.
The Ask an Expert Adviceline is a free service for SBN members and GreenFleet participants and provides access to advice from some of New Zealand's top sustainability experts. SBN has amalgamated a panel of specialists from within the organisation, as well as from a number of expert partners, who are able to provide a response or else source the information for you. Whether you're seeking recommendations for a recycling provider, or unsure of what you should be including in your emissions calculations, contact us with any sustainability question relating to your business.
Flying on an occasional basis can add up to more CO2 emissions than the rest of your personal life combined. Even if your conscience has been overcome and you still need to board that flight to a meeting in an exotic and far-flung location, there are a few measures you can take to help reduce the impact.

Events
Fancy a local street picnic this Sunday? Or perhaps a quality day at home with the family or friends. What ever you do, leave the car at home and find more creative ways to get from A to B. Why? Because it’s It’s Car Free Sunday – the opportunity to experience life and transport without using oil. Car Free Sunday has been organised as a positive, proactive response to the Tauranga Oil Spill.
Winter is a great season for car-pooling. Imagine jumping into someone else’s nice warm car rather than trying to defrost your own windscreen each morning!
