The rate (an extra $150 a year/$2.90 a week) is expected to raise $46 million over 10 years and has already seen three new bus services to connect residents to the rest of the city.

Making Conscious Choices: How to align your values to your decisions.

Conscious Action alongside Flick Electric Co. and Good magazine explore how to make choices that are aligned with our values and within our budgets.

Do you have a set of personal values you base your choices on?
Do you find making choices that align with those values difficult because of factors out of your control?
There is often a conflict for us, especially when it comes to our values around the environment.

During this event we’ll explore the opportunities we have to make conscious choices on a daily basis; how to make choices we can stand behind and be proud of; and how to generate more compassion for others making choices we don’t necessarily agree with.

Come along to meet like-minded individuals, join an interactive discussion with two guest speakers, and for mindfulness, sharing and action setting.

DON'T MISS OUT! The first 50 tickets purchased will also include a Luxe Goodie Bag from the partners of Good magazine.

DON'T EAT DINNER because also included in your ticket is plant-based snacks from The Larder Project, Forage & Ferment and Savour Vegan Cheeses. Organic Tea by Fine & Dandy Tea Co., sweet treats from Hunter Gatherer Gourmet. AND, a vegan tofu burger courtesy of BurgerFuel HQ
