Last day of Ecofest North Backyard Actions
CLIMATE CHANGE FOR HUMANITY
We take this opportunity to acknowledge and to thank all our amazing contributors to Ecofest North 2020. Our original festival programme was interrupted by CO-VID 19 lockdown, however, we felt a deep responsibility to continue to share important life-changing actions and information during this time of isolation. The opportunity of turning Ecofest North into a Backyard Actions was facilitated by offering to share links from presenters who had videos/audio available thus allowing Ecofest North to support in this time of great change and growth, moving us all gently in the direction of living more lightly on our Earth!
Today's featured events:
🍃Reversing Climate Change - Be the Change, Learn How
🍃Northern Pathway: Westhaven to Akoranga Survey
🍃Zero Waste Daily kōrero via Facebook Livestream
🍃Big backyard clean-up
🌏 Much gratitude to our sponsors @Aucklandcouncil @Livelightly Auckland Foundation @Kaipatikilocalboard for everything you have done for us in the past, everything you still do and will continue to do, we at Kaipātiki Project just want you to know how thankful we are, and we look forward to a prosperous future together!
This festival with all intentions was about allowing people to interact directly in our neighbourhoods, communities and environment. We hope that you have felt inspired by what we have been able to share in some way that will bring about a healthy change for our wellbeing and the Earth. We are seeing the quick results of nature returning, when humans make way for nature to thrive, all the beauty of natural world surrounds us with a refreshing view of how life can be if we adopted a more respectful and collaborative way of living and thriving together. We thank you for your interest, participation in Ecofest North 2020, and we look forward to bringing another amazing festival to you in 2021.
But we are not saying goodbye
As Ecofest North 2020 ends, stay tuned to this page, as we will continue with Backyard Actions to keep you inspired and informed with new simple ways to assist with changes that you can make at home and in your local neighbourhood. Live Lightly and Love our Earth!
A Neighbourly Riddle! Don’t Overthink It… Or Do?😜
Do you think you know the answer? Simply 'Like' this post if you know the answer and the big reveal will be posted in the comments at 2pm on the day!
If you multiply this number by any other number, the answer will always be the same. What number is this?
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?
-
60% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
24.5% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.5% ... It is complicated
Night-time chipsealing works on SH2
From 9 to 17 February, stop/go traffic management will be in place on SH2 between McPherson Road and Dimmock Road on multiple nights between 9pm and 5am (Sundays to Thursdays).
During the day, all lanes will be open, but speed restrictions will apply to allow the chipseal to set and to protect vehicles travelling over the newly laid surface.
There may be delays to your journey when travelling through the area. This is weather dependent so check NZTA Journey Planner before you travel.
