What's on: Beyond sustainability. Monday 8 July - Viaduct
We have been using this word so much, but do we know what we are talking about when we say sustainability?
Is it even enough or do we need to go beyond it?
This #plasticfreejuly we will explore alongside Chris Morrison (Karma Cola & All Good Organics) and Nick Morrison (Go Well Consulting) what lies beyond sustainability.
Touching on different perspectives like circular economy, organics, ethics and social aspects and regeneration to get to a more balanced way of interacting and taking care of the environment and each other.
Come along to meet like-minded individuals, join an interactive discussion, mindfulness, sharing and action setting on how you can have an impact.

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
