Kaitiakitanga is about protecting our land and environment now and for future generations.
One reason our trees and forests are important because they can absorb and store carbon dioxide.
One way of protecting our environment is to reduce our carbon footprint.
A big part of our carbon footprint is how we travel.
We can think about the travel choices we have and, when we can, choose active travel and walk, cycle, scooter or take public transport like buses, trains or ferries. There are many other ways that we can reduce our carbon footprints too.
