The aim of this project is to encourage residents to replace at least one fossil-fuelled journey per week with a sustainable alternative.
The Swap One campaign is a collaborative initiative to reduce Nelson’s greenhouse gas emissions by encouraging residents to replace at least one fossil-fuelled journey per week with a sustainable alternative — walking, biking, bussing, carpooling, or working from home.
Transport accounts for 61% of Nelson’s emissions, with daily congestion from school and work commutes contributing significantly.
In line with Nelson’s Climate Strategy goals, the campaign aims to shift transport behaviours, improve community wellbeing, and cut emissions by 5% in the first year.
Developed by the Nelson Tasman Climate Forum, Mission Zero, Enviroschools, and Nelsust, the campaign will soon include public events, business partnerships, a dedicated web portal, drop-in clinics, and an app for tracking progress.
