SO happy to be moving to a biomass boiler, with government funding announced today @jamespeshaw, which will reduce UC’s carbon emissions by 9000 tonnes @NZStuff https://t.co/Xs4GF8zMfp #sustainability

[James Shaw @jamespeshaw]

#breaking I've just announced Govt support for EVs at @NZInlandRevenue, taking out coal boilers at @UCNZ & @AUTuni, and clean energy at Midland and Lakes DHBs. Together, it'll save 15,000 tonnes of carbon emissions every year - equivalent to taking 6,000 cars off the road #nzpol
