What are you doing personally to make a difference?
The biggest thing has been the introduction of CarboNZero programmes at South Pacific Pictures, but at home I compost all food waste, recycle papers/glass and use eco lightbulbs. The composting has cut rubbish by 60 per cent. I also drive a hybrid car.
What more could you do?
Turn off more appliances, drive a smaller car.
What is your biggest environmental sin?
I travel a lot, but if I didn't we'd have less work.
Global warming - true or false?
I'm still researching.
