Celebrating Earth Day 2019 in Franklin
Be an eco warrior, bring a block of wood to the Biochar fire and learn how that makes a difference to global warming, at these carbon-negative events*** celebrating Earth Day 2019. Some fun, some food, some learning and some biochar for you to take home.
We'll be at St Andrews Anglican Church (43 Queen St, Pukekohe) on Saturday 27th April from 8am to 12 noon with the Charcoal Fire, a Climate Q&A, games and activities for the kids plus a garage sale to grab a bargain from.
And then on Sunday 28th April, from 1pm to 5pm, we'll be at Footbridge Estate (50 Chamberlain Road, Bombay) with the Charcoal Fire and an interesting seminar series (3pm to 4:20pm):
- Biological treatment of pests and diseases (Dr Stephen Ford)
- NZ’s transition to a low emissions economy (Journalist Rod Oram)
- Biochar’s role in sequestering CO2 (localist John Allen)
- Ecotheology: Climate Action from a Church perspective (academic Dr Nicola Hoggard Creegan)
*** Could this be Auckland's first carbon-negative event?

The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟

We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
