Transition Town Lower Hutt - Consumers Anonymous Meeting
Spreading the Message: Join us at 7.30pm, Tuesday 26th March at Alicetown Community Centre to discuss how we might spread the word more widely and reach out to involve more people in discussing and acting on the issues of unnecessary personal consumption, and the system that feeds it. The first thing we’ll do is work on “elevator pitches” for both Consumers Anonymous and Transition Town Lower Hutt as a whole.
FYI: Consumers Anonymous is a support group for people who know they’re addicted to unnecessary consumption, but just can’t kick the habit. We meet monthly, usually on the fourth Tuesday, and discuss at least one major consumption topic. Facebook Event: www.facebook.com...
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
