What is your impact on the planet?

FutureFit o˙ ers a chance to discover your carbon footprint by answering a few quick questions on your everyday decisions around food, transport and home energy use.

Tauranga City Council general manager of infrastructure Nic Johansson is already looking to adjust his eating habits after discovering his results through FutureFit.

“˛ e biggest surprise was the impact I and my family can make by reducing red meat and dairy consumption. ˛ at’s certainly changed our knowledge and behaviour for the better.”

˛ e FutureFit themes include move, eat, power, shop and grow –which means there’s a wide range of areas for potential gains to be made in better outcomes for the planet.

“It’s so useful to see a snapshot of the impacts across the categories, and it immediately tells you where you can make some impactful changes,” says Nic.

“˛ e top takeaway for me is how a little knowledge, which you certainly get by doing the survey, can in° uence your thinking and trigger good conversations at the dinner table! It takes all of us to make changes for a better future for coming generations, and FutureFit is such a good starting point,” says Nic.
