What's on: Let's Talk Rubbish - Plastic Free July - Thursday 28 July 6:30pm

Brian from Westmere

How conscious are you of your footprint?
All of us will leave one - how big though, is up to us.

Join Conscious Action as we explore the world of waste during #plasticfreejuly!

During this event we’ll learn about the different waste streams that we contribute to as individuals, how our habits impact our environment, the sharing and circular economies and what they mean for our future, as well as ways to adopt a zero-waste lifestyle, reduce our footprint and have a positive impact in the world.

Come along to meet like-minded individuals, watch the 'For The Blue' documentary, join an interactive discussion with our guest speakers, a mindful moment, sharing and action setting.

For The Blue, which details how plastic pollution is damaging our environment, whilst showing the real world solutions on how to fix it. 3 years spent documenting the journey, spending time in places like Hawaii, Malaysia and at home here in New Zealand, seeing the consequences of our waste ending up in our environment.

Speaking to people who are leading the plastic free movement, whilst documenting how we can all be part of the solution, rather than the problem.

Their goal is to inspire the next generation of change makers, to think big about the issues we face, and to act.

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱
