Consumer's Anonymous - Futility. Next meeting Feb 26

Alisa Hogan from Hutt Timebank

Consumer's Anonymous is a group of locals who care about our environment and want to think carefully about the impacts our buying decisions can have. One example is kicking our plastic habit! What are alternatives to using plastic? How can we make good ethical choices? How can we reduce our consumption?
Join Transition Town Lower Hutt to discuss the problem of being individuals, or small locally organized groups, trying to bring about change in the face of the scale and momentum of massive political and economic enterprises. Is all our effort just futile perhaps, or at best just helpful to a few? Is the magnitude of the problems overwhelming? All Welcome.
7.30pm, Tuesday Feb 26th

Speed limits around NaeNae

Susan from Naenae

Hi Neighbors, Just a heads up, I have just received a $170 fine for driving at 50km on Rata Street Naenae on a SUNDAY Morning. I wrote to NZTA pointing out and sending in a photo of sign stating that it was 30km on school days between those hours, but they said that the whole of Rata Street and some surrounding streets are 30km 24/7 and have been for over a year. Did I miss this been advised by council? Always good to be informed. Merry Christmas to all

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
