At Geneva we reward a homeowner’s hard work and good fortune by granting almost guaranteed approval on some of the best loan rates we offer.

I want these to be platforms for discussion, idea sharing, and project planning for action on waste reduction in Christchurch. It has been hard for me to get funding for these as I am not a legal entity. So, I have decided to crowdfund. Plastic is incredibly destructive to our planet, and particularly, marine life. It is so important it is to get the message out there, so I'm asking you guys to help me do that! I've set up a PledgeMe - it has all the information on it. The second screening will be at Bishopdale Community Centre, there will be free food and a chance to catch up with the neighbours! Please have a look at the link, and if you want to, donate!
