Now That’s an Idea is a place where we stop grumbling and start scheming. Each edition pitches one way to make something better, usually with insights from someone who actually knows their stuff, occasionally from my own crackpot imagination. Why? 1. There are many problems Humans have a remarkable tendency to notice what’s wrong with the world. And we’re good at spotting problems. If food tastes bad, we complain. If traffic is slow, we grumble. But that’s only half the conversation: what are the solutions? 2. We need better answers It’s too easy to follow the path well walked. We live in a ever changing world with a flood of ideas, knowledge and answers. This blog is a chance to dive deep into ideas that are worth digging into. Each month I’ll wrangle a interviews and find folk with a ideas worth sharing. Join me in this mild attempt to make the world ever so slightly better. One idea at a time. Jack

Cutting Red Tape and Boosting Biodiversity - Sam the Trap Man #2

In this episode of Now That’s an Idea, we sit down with Sam Gibson — maybe better known as Sam the Trap Man — to talk about his candidacy for local council in Gisborne/Tairāwhiti.

Sam shares his background in conservation and community work, and why listening to constituents is central to his approach.

Sam's idea: we need for greater resilience in the face of environmental challenges, including more targeted native forest and cutting red tape for farmers.

Our kōrero also touches on funding for biodiversity initiatives and the high costs of road maintenance caused by heavy industry.

Keywords:

Sam Gibson, sam the trap man, local governance, environmental resilience, community involvement, biodiversity, council elections, Gisborne, New Zealand, road infrastructure, public engagement
