New Zealand.... Hum sounds like the perfect heaven for fresh air, clear water,... The country is probably more impacted by the consequences of others than by itself. But the country is also one of the worst in term of eco-efficiency and it is probably not polluting that much (in %) because it is a big country with only 4 million inhabitants.
It leads to the following reflection. Or you decrease the number of "polluters" (?!!?): us OR you become more efficient. Does it remind you something ??? 35 hours of work/ week in France,.., it is all about efficiency.
To give you an example of how terrible it is in New Zealand. Well ! houses are not isolated AT ALL. Meaning you warm your room (and your neigbour from the house next door !!!). But it is also about architecting the cities so people do not have to do dozen of kms to go to work. Another example, Auckland is one the le longest city in the world for only 1.5 millions inhabitants. So people cover huge distance everyday, use their car,....,...and any public transportation cannot be profitable.
Humm, Seb
