The Power of Community - Film Showing
Join local group, Transition Town Lower Hutt, at this film night at Alicetown Community Centre on Tues 13th Nov at 7.30pm.
This 50 minute documentary describes how Cubans met the challenge of an embargo on virtually all their oil in the 1990s. Their successful transition to a low fossil-fuel economy proved that such a transition is possible, and gives numerous insights into the difficulties and how they were overcome. The film will be followed by an open discussion of its content, and how we might relate it to our own Transition challenges.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
