She's just back from Brussels where she spoke about new accounting at an EU forum. From November this year, 700 of the biggest companies in the EU will have to issue sustainability reports.
EXTENDED BODY:
Jane Gleeson-White is the author of the book Six Capitals: The Revolution Capitalism Has to Have - or Can Accountants Save the Planet?
In it, the Sydney-based writer argues that traditional cost accounting and a focus simply on profit has to change, to take into consideration other non-financial factors such as a company's impact on the environment.
And she says accountants are the ones who are best placed to spearhead the revolution.
Six Capitals is the sequel to her internationally acclaimed prize-winning Double Entry, a history of accounting from around 7000 BC to the 2008 financial crash and the environmental crisis.
Since the latest book was published two years ago, Gleeson-White has been in demand around the world talking about new accounting.
She's just back to this part of the world from Brussels where she spoke at an EU forum - from November this year, 700 of the biggest companies in the EU will have to issue sustainability reports.

Lionel Carter: Oceanography
BODY:
Lionel Carter is an oceanographer at Victoria University who's tasked with protecting the undersea cables which underpin virtually all global communications and commerce.
EXTENDED BODY:
Lionel Carter first started exploring the oceans using sextants and sonar - now he's using satellite scanning and computer analysis.
He began his career working out the boundaries of New Zealand's exclusive economic zones and was involved in the discovery of the Pacific Deep Western Boundary current - the world's largest deep sea current.
Right now he's involved in the International Cable Protection Committee working out how to prevent undersea landslides and submarine volcanoes from cutting the cables which reach across the ocean floor.
Read an edited excerpt of the interview below:
When were these cables first laid?
New Zealand was involved in one of the early lays, that was the Trans-Tasman cable, linking the West coast of the north island with Sydney. We were doing that work in 1988, so these cables really came to the fore in the late 1980s and since then they under pin the internet.
How do you lay the cables in the first place?
They’re laid out with great care. Let’s say we’re going to lay a cable from the West Coast to Sydney. The first thing we do is a route survey and we do that on the data we have available and then we take a ship out and map the seabed upon a route suitable for cables. Satellite mapping and these mapping systems that are now on ships where they can map 10, 20 kilometres of the seabed. So we’ve mapped the seabed and we decide where the cable should go. The cable ship comes out with the cable coiled within several tanks on the vessel. Then the vessel starts out at the West Coast of the North Island, lays it across the continental shelf. Shallow water. Then we go down to a four-five kilometres depth. Laying it all the time but laying it under tension so you don’t form like a ball of knitting on the seabed. So we run steaming along at about two-three knots and then we arrive back in Sydney. So it’s quite straightforward, but the key thing is picking the route. What are we avoiding? Are we avoiding underwater volcanoes, are we avoiding fault lines? That’s where the geology comes in – picking the safest route.
When we’re looking at the directions that these cables are going in; across to Australia and across to the United States as well, what are they crossing when we’re talking about volcanoes and other activities.
This is where the fun comes in. I am sure the listeners have heard of the Pacific Ring of Fire. Lots of earthquakes and volcanic activity. Just look at the cities around that Pacific Rim. You’re looking at Tokyo, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Vancouver, New Zealand. You have to go through hazardous zones to serve these major metropolises.
Those cables in the Mediterranean, Caribbean and the Pacific, they do have to cross these tectonic plate boundaries. The boundaries are colliding, they generate earthquakes, landslides, volcanic activity… so these cables we do have to find the best way through these hazardous zones.
What are the greatest risks to these cables?
The greatest risk is us. When you’re on the continental shelf in waters of say, 200 metres and shallower, the key antagonists are bottom trawling, and ships anchors. That accounts for about 70 percent of cable faults. So when this thread comes into the shallow water, they wrap steel wire around it to give it extra protection and they bury them. If you’re in Singapore, they bury them at something like 10 metres below the seabed. But most likely they’ll be less than 3 metres below the seabed.
When you go into the deep ocean, that’s when we’re getting into the natural hazards. The big risks there are submarine landslides and a tabidity current. As these landslides take off they mix with water, so you’ve got what is more or less a muddy slurry taking off down the slope and as it goes down the slope it pings these cables one after the other.
We had an event in 1929. About 22 cables were broken in the North Atlantic and that was an indicator that the seabed was far from ‘still waters run deep’. It was considerably mobile.

Since then Bugg has released his second album, Shangri La, which was produced by Rick Rubin and now, his third album, On My One has just seen the light of day. This most recent effort has been rather long in the making and was written, played and produced almost solely by Bugg.

Pacific Kryptonite
BODY:
The fructose in sugar is like kryptonite to Maori and Pasifika people so Hastings Girls' High School has begun a healthy food revolution in their community.
EXTENDED BODY:
Fifty cent lolly mixes are a distant memory at Hastings Girls’ High School now the students have revolutionised its cafeteria menu.
Most of the food that used to be available was high in sugar and salt, so in 2015 food technology students were handed the menu by teachers Noeline Stewart and Regina Carroll to decide what they wanted to get rid of.
“Obviously, there’s been a movement against [unhealthy food] in the last few years anyway but it’s our duty as a school to offer the best we can for our students.” says teacher Regina Carroll.
“They love the 50 cent lolly mix but you know what, it isn’t great.. you get a sugar high [and then a crash] and that’s what we want to change.”
The majority of the school’s 830 students are Maori and Pasifika, and are more genetically disposed to the negative effects of fructose in sugar than other ethnicities.
Dr Chris King trained at the University of California in San Diego. He's is a medical researcher working on a programme for Maori in Hastings to reverse diseases such as type 2 diabetes, obesity and gout which are all exacerbated by fructose.
He says a genetic mutation in the kidney means Maori and Pacific Islanders have more trouble ridding the blood of uric acid made by fructose.
It was a survival advantage needed when people were migrating without a lot of food available so whoever had the mutation could eat less and survive.
“I tell them Maori and Pacific Islanders were the supermen and superwomen of the Pacific,” he says. “But when Europeans brought sugar, it was their kryptonite.”
The high cost of healthy food options for many struggling to make ends meet has created the demand for what’s been coined ‘poverty food’ like cheap fast food and fizzy drink.
For many students, the food on offer at school is the healthiest option of the day so the teachers have teamed the students up with the school’s Te Rourou cafe to make sure the best diet is offered.
“We took it to year 12 students and did surveys,” Regina says. “They spoke and we started making changes from there and getting rid of the rubbish.”
Since the revolution, attitudes towards healthy eating have changed in the school and students are inspired to pursue healthier lifestyles.
One of those students is Giavani. She’s Samoan and would like to study to become a paramedic at the University of Auckland.
“My uncle has diabetes,” she says. “I used to eat pork riblets and meatballs. We should all try and change our diets to more vegetables and fruit.”
Former student Zoe Crystal is working in the school office and would like other schools to adopt the same initiative.
“I think everyone should be following that kind of revolution. Food is fuel, we’re at school and we do need it to help us feel good,” she says. “In the long run it’s better for our students.”
Deputy principal Phil Carmine agrees. “We’re not just about English maths and science, we’re about changing the understanding of our students in ways that have far wider implications than them gaining qualifications,” he says.
“This is changing their lives and the lives of their children and that’s super important to us.”
