Kia ora neighbours,

Lyall Bay Community Church is pleased to host The Rubbish Trip's popular presentation on zero waste living in Lyall Bay!

Join Hannah and Liam, the Two No-Waste Nomads behind The Rubbish Trip, for an introduction to the practicalities and philosophy of waste reduction. Drawing on their own research and over four years of experience living zero waste, Hannah and Liam will guide you through the whys and the hows of life without a rubbish bin, including:

- What is the zero waste movement? Why is waste reduction important?

- How zero waste principles can revolutionise your perspectives on living and lifestyle, beyond your rubbish bin.

- Innovative examples of waste minimisation policy, practice and thinking from around the globe, and how these might inform community-level waste reduction.

- Tips for how you can reduce the rubbish in your life (including fun DIY household products, cosmetics, and other life hacks).

This event is free; everyone is welcome. Free zero waste nibbles will be provided.

This talk is part of The Rubbish Trip's travelling project, taking the zero waste message around Aotearoa New Zealand

Two of us retired musicians have suddenly decided that we haven't finished gigging after all and we are looking for interested people to join us in an acoustic combo.
Our present duo is my mate playing drums and percussion while I play solo nylon string guitar.
Initially we will need a singer and possibly a flute player with reading and improvising skills.
As well as our own material we will be playing classic Great American songbook standards, bossa's and folk/pop/rock by artists such as Joni Mitchell, Beatles etc.

Please PM me if you are interested.
