Workplace parking levy raises $164million

Nottingham City Council in the UK introduced a Workplace Parking levy in 2011. So over a decade later what has the levy achieved?

All levies raised had to be spent on public transport. As at 2021 a total of 7840 tonnes of CO2 have been saved. The levy has contributed to a 33% fall in carbon emissions since 2005. 3 million private cars eliminated due to public transport improvements. Read more stats and background in the link below.

How do you know which products are "green" and which aren't?

Greenwashing is when companies and brands wave a green wand over their products and whisper a lot of marketing speak in consumers’ ears, without really doing all that much to back it up.

Words such as “natural”, “eco” and “environmentally-friendly”, and images of green leaves, forests, trees or animals, may not be telling the whole story.

There are a lot of ‘green' or ‘ethical' certification marks out there, but which ones are meaningful? The Sustainable Business Network has a list of marks which are relevant in New Zealand.
