Auckland's carbon-friendly museum

The Auckland museum is the first in the world to get a carbon-friendly stamp of approval after making big cuts in its energy use. It has been certified through the internationally recognised Certified Emissions Measurement and Reduction Scheme (CEMARS), which measures every detail of an organisation's carbon footprint from the number of flights staff take to the type of lawnmower used on the grounds.
