What's on: Plant Power - 12 February 6:30pm - Grey Lynn
The time has come for Conscious Action to take another look at plants and their power!
During this event we’ll be joined by knowledgeable and passionate speakers to celebrate the diversity and deliciousness of plants, get some top tips on how to grow our own plant kingdoms and learn more about how we can thrive on a plant-based diet.
We’ll explore the importance of growing our food, especially for those of us living in cities, as well as the core reasons why a growing number of us are choosing to eat more plants - environmental, ethical or health.
We are looking forward to hear from our guest speakers Sarah Tanner, vegan influencer who’s trying to weave in a little more eco consciousness, and Judy Keats AKA Green sister, Organics Educator, City Farm Manager, Permaculture Practitioner and Compost Facilitator.
Come along to meet like-minded individuals, join an interactive discussion, sharing and action setting on how you can have an impact.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
