This week there are events happening around New Zealand to celebrate and we'll be bringing one of our vehicles along to the public Ride ‘n’ Drive Day on Sunday 17 September. It’s an opportunity for people to see, ride in, or drive an EV and to talk to an EV owner about why they love their EV. Check out the full scope of events at The Better NZ Trust - Leading The Charge.
As an organisation that is confronting the impacts of climate change in all of our work, we understand the urgency with which a transition to a low carbon economy must be achieved. That’s why we are doing what we can to reduce our own emissions.
One of the ways that we are doing this is though prioritising the purchase of EVs when we buy new vehicles. We now have a fleet of 8 electric vehicles! And it will only grow over time.

So many business connections are made at the Business Expo. With many of the exhibitors coming from outside the Wellington Region.
Free presentations. Business breakfast with Economist, Bernard Hickey, free parking, free entry and great prizes using the Phone APP are on offer. One lucky visitor will go into the draw to win a trip to Queenstown for two.
Because of growing numbers of exhibitors and expected visitors the Business Expo is being held at Westpac Stadium, in the lounge and gallery areas being conducive to networking.

The decision by Vodafone to cut email services gave me an oportunity to have a look at what services I was getting and the costs.

For the first time I saw that on my mobile account a warning was posted that if I did not pay (or they did not recieve payment) by due day a penalty payment would be incurred. Fair enought until I saw the penalty was $17.25 - almost the same as my monthly debt - $19.07. How can this be justified - normally overdues are penalised at 10-20%. Does this company really want patronage or are they trying to get out of the business in NZ?

Check out our facts and tips on avocados and what else is in-season!

This workshop is good for beginners who want to finally get their gardens happening this season - we'll cover all the basics. It's also good for the more experienced: you'll leave having your complete planting and maintenance plan for the year sorted, PLUS your first tray of seedlings started - and all your questions answered. You can check out this and other workshops at www.therabbithole.co.nz... and book through the website if you wish. Would love to see you there!
