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: 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?
-
37.6% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
62.4% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
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!
