Calls to rethink Akld's economy

From Nine To Noon, 9:09 am on 10 May 2018

Auckland could be billions of dollars better off with much lower carbon emissions if it shifted to a more sustainable economic model. The Sustainable Business Network has analysed what would happen if the city moved to a "circular economy" and away from the traditional linear model that makes, uses and disposes of products. Kathryn is joined by the author of a new report on the subject, James Griffin who explains what a circular economy is and also Gary Blick from Sapere Research Group who carried out the economic analysis.
