Beer and Climate Change: You no longer have to choose!

Bodeker from Central Otago District

Paris Agreement?
Greenhouse gas emissions?
NZ’s reduction target?

Does any of this sound familiar to you? What does this ACTUALLY mean for Central Otago?

In return for a free drink and snacks, we want you to join our open discussion about taking action in our own backyard. Come and pick the brains of leading scientists on climate change - find out what is fact and what is media hype. Hear about the changes that will occur in Central Otago and the threats and opportunities posed by climate change.

Join us for a beer and bring along all your questions for Dr James Renwick of Victoria University, Wellington, and Dr Greg Bodeker of Bodeker Scientific, Alexandra. They will unpack the issues, discuss real solutions and offer you an opportunity to find real changes that work for you.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

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!
