Re: ‘Our different approach to climate change' National's MP for Tauranga, Sam Uffindel's column in The Weekend Sun, March 3 edition.
It is great to see Sam Uffindel committing to climate emission targets in a way that will grow our economy.
I am looking forward to the details, such as how a National government will re-structure the economy to ensure that jobs are converted from so much of the current fossil fuel economy to sustainable activities.
It may also require a shift from our love of meat to a more healthy, cleaner, plant-based diet, and all the industrial and lifestyle changes that go with it.
Recreation may also need to change by reducing our reliance on travel to more local, creative activities.
It will certainly involve many challenging and exciting opportunities for this long term journey, and I hope that all parties will be committed to it.
