Air New Zealand has a problem. The national airline needs to be profitable and, traditionally, this has involved increasing passenger numbers. In the past, this growth has been one of the many factors leading to the demise of passenger rail in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Hawke’s Bay’s last passenger train service, the Bay Express, stopped running in 2001. This year the Save Our Trains group have been holding meetings in towns and cities across New Zealand to encourage a revival of passenger rail. This includes meetings in Woodville, Dannevirke, Napier and Hastings. In contrast to New Zealand, in most parts of the world there is an expansion of inter-regional passenger rail. There are the super-fast bullet train networks that New Zealanders can only dream about.

COMMENT: The islands of Aotearoa New Zealand were the last large land mass in the world to be settled by humans. Skilled sailors and navigators, Māori arrived around 1300 AD. For millions of years previously the only mammals living on the islands were bats and, offshore, some marine species. As we know, it was a land of birds, many of which had evolved to become flightless.
This year our largest and best-known environmental organisation, Forest & Bird, is celebrating 100 years of existence.

Which seat on a plane is the safest? We asked an aviation expertWhen booking a flight, do you ever think about which seat will protect you the most in an emergency? Probably not. Most people book seats for comfort, such as leg room, or convenience, such as easy access to toilets. Frequent flyers (this author included) might book their seat as close as possible to the front so they can disembark more quickly. We rarely book a flight with hopes of getting one of the middle seats in the last row.

This can be seen especially in relation to flying. Flying is a very high emission activity for individuals and for the nation as a whole. But most of the world’s population have never been on a plane. In New Zealand, as in other wealthy countries, a small minority contribute to the majority of emissions through their frequent and long distance flying. In the UK, the campaign Make Them Pay is targeting aviation emissions.
