What's on: 'Tis the season of Giving - Wednesday 27 November at Crave Morningside
We are nearing that time of the year - the holiday season ...and for many it means worrying about gifts and wrapping up EVERYTHING at work.
This Wednesday at Crave in Morningside we’ll take a step back and talk about GIVING. Its shapes and forms, its importance in our lives and how it impacts our communities with guest speakers Rochelle Sheldon from Joyable and Claire Conza from Make Give Live.
At this event, you'll also be able to get some of your Christmas shopping done, with a variety of vendors showcasing products that might help you to give something a little more meaningful this year.
Come along to meet like-minded individuals, join an interactive discussion, sharing and action setting on how you can have an impact as well as enjoying plant-based treats from The Larder Project, Forage & Ferment and Hunter Gatherer Gourmet as well as organic Tea by Fine & Dandy.

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!
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
37.8% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
62.2% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
🎉 Riddle me this, legends! 🎉
He/She who makes it, sells it.

What is it?
