The group has penned a letter to the Government urging it to prioritise green solutions in its response to Covid-19. Avondale College student Coco Green-Lovatt, who is one of the leaders of the campaign, says the way New Zealanders has united and made sacrifices to fight coronavirus gives her hope for similar action against climate change.

As Jacinda so correctly said this morning (while putting Duncan Garner in his place), "I didn't realise you were an epidemiologist - congratulations on your new qualification"
Even though this may have been a tad immature, I am sure that she (like so many of us) is fed up to our back teeth with all of these so called experts demanding that we rapidly descend to a lower level faster than we should be, all because they seem to think that they know best.
If we bend to the will of these couch experts, then we will find ourselves back into lockdown, just like quite a few countries are doing as I write this.
Is this hard on us? Yes
Are we over this dreadful scenario? Yes
Is this hard on the economy? Yes
Do we want to beat this and come through the other side without slipping back to Level 4? Yes
So, we do need to be strong, help one another, be supportive and not judgemental of those who are tasked to making the really hard decisions. We wouldn't be able to walk a mile in their shoes, let alone make these hard decisions lightly with a whole nation breathing down our necks.
The wonderful analogy I came across is perfect for this time.
"The curve is flattening; we can starting lifting restrictions now"
which is the same as saying, " The parachute has slowed our rate of descent; we can now take it off"
BE PATIENT FOLKS - WE CAN REALLY DO THIS👍❤
TRUST THE EXPERTS and not the couch experts.
