OPINION:
At the end of January New Zealand s newly formed Climate Change Commission dropped a draft report of seismic proportions. The suite of proposals aims to sideline the main mechanism for reducing and offsetting New Zealand s man-made carbon emissions until now, the Emissions Trading Scheme. It would declare peak meat and dairy (our most valuable exports) and reduce livestock numbers from here.
And through a range of policy sticks, carrots and bans, it would have the Government reach into our living rooms and our driver s seats, dictating everything from how we heat our homes to how we get to work, in a slew of new, invasive, but surprisingly inexpensive ways.

When my wife and I were trying to figure out what to do with our rehearsal dinner before the wedding, we had trouble picking a spot. We could have chosen some fancy hot spot to gather with the family, but that s not our style. Instead, we decided to do a bar crawl as our event. And that crawl started at Nepenthe Brewing Co.
We started there because Nepenthe has become a favorite spot of ours in Hampden. It sits right on Falls Road on the corner of The Avenue. It has become a place that we bring all visitors to see. The atmosphere and employees are great. And the overall vibe is great.
