Description: A 'GOOD EVANS' cartoon. Shows two men in a pub. One of the men is the proprietor and is reading about the hydro lakes being low in the newspaper. He asks a man sitting at the bench with his glass of beer what he is doing to conserve energy and the man replies that he has sold his big car and bought a house closer to the pub. Refers to low rainfall in the South Island meaning that the hydro storage lakes for power generation plants are very low and that therefore there is a danger of power cuts over the winter. The South Island's Waitaki and Clutha power schemes have a combined capacity of more than 2500MW, but their main storage lakes (Tekapo, Pukaki and Hawea) are at about half the level they should be. The little man in the corner comments that 'He's a real Greenie!'. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Description: The whaling protest ship, the 'Sea Shepherd' has chased a Japanese whaling ship away and a pod of whales shouts 'hooray' but below another pod of whales have beached themselves and a seagull considers this a strange way to show their appreciation. Context - Japan has blamed continued harassment by the Sea Shepherd for its decision to halt this year's whale hunt in the Southern Ocean early. Sea Shepherd founder Paul Watson says the protesters won't stop until Japan stops hunting whales for good. He says the whaling fleet is heading home after taking less than a tenth of its quota this season, which means 900 whales have been saved. Activists who have led the fight against Japan's whaling operations in the Southern Ocean say reports of the annual whale hunt being suspended are a bluff. Also the Department of Conservation said it had to put down 48 pilot whales after a pod of 107 stranded themselves at Mason Bay on Stewart Island.

Description: Illustrates six tips to reduce power consumption, but carried to extremes, so that the character illustrated loses his house in the effort to keep warm and is homelss in the last panel, with the advice that he may be eligible for insulation funding now pointless. The Winter of 2012, while wet, was not cold, but rises in power prices occurred. The 'tips' given were valid. However the most useful one of obtaining government support for insulation was left to the last. Having it as first priority would reduce the need to take the other 'tips' to extremes.
