No, not horse. Bicycle is way faster and can go a longer distance than a horse. Even a normal bicycle.

These new measures are being rolled out around the world.
If we did nothing about emissions here it wouldnt make any difference, I dont see why poeple keep calling for nz to be a world leader, all it does is just increase the cost of everything but your wages

The real issue is whether you would sooner be part of the problem or part of the solution. Your children's and grandchildren's futures ride on that decision.

The worlds population is made up of individual people. Each person is part of the problem.

The population in NZ is already declining. We already have to import people to maintain the population.

Methanol will wreck all rubber fuel system components in your old Land Rover unless they’ve been updated to suit the stuff. ( It’s the same for all old vehicles)

Methanol won't be used as it is carcinogenic and the fumes after burning are carcinogenic. That's why the drivers of the drag racers wear respirators.

Have we been kicking ourselfs in the teeth because we feel like a small un noticed isolated country at the bottom of the world? so much potential to have a good life wasted by people getting bored and anxious back here after there trips around the world, particularly a prat on talkback wanting us to adopt singapores way of life, no thanks, i think its an internal problem with us, kiwis, tall poppy syndrome running rampant, the chewing gum on the pavement keeps prices and investment down abit, maby.

Chinas urban development police are kicking motorcycles and pushbikes of the road in favour of cars, so they look richer, now every country wants to look "cleaner" it aint going to happen, not both ways anyhow.
