We're back from an incredible event at the Climate Action Campus, Ōtautahi, and we're thrilled to share that it was a huge success!

🌱🍵 Our journey with Indian Royal Brew started with a passion for Indian + premium + organic teas being sold in New Zealand, and it was amazing to see so many people connect with our story and teas.

From the rich flavours of our blends to the careful selection of ingredients, we loved explaining what makes our teas special. The response was overwhelming, with many attendees choosing to take a piece of our journey home with them.

A big thank you to everyone who stopped by and bought our teas and shared our vision for a greener, more connected world through the simple pleasure of a great cup of tea. Your support means the world to us! 🌍💚

Thank you, @avoncityford , for helping us with the event.❤️

The National Party introduced their policy called 'teaching the basics brilliantly' last year regarding changing school curriculums. They are referring to reading, writing and maths.

However, some people believe school should actually be more practical, teaching kids to change tyres and balance their finances. Thinking about all the skills that have benefited you over the years, tell us what would be taught at your School of Life?

It's been 13 years since the 2011 earthquake - a day many of us will never forget.

If you'd like to look back on Christchurch as it was before the earthquakes hit you may wish to head to Google Maps today and see past images of your old school, workplace or favourite haunts.

How to do it:
- Head to Google Maps and click the yellow man icon in the bottom right corner.
- If you search an address or location then move him to a spot on the map, it brings up Street View.
- There is a black menu and usually an option to "See more dates". You can view that spot on the map in past Google street images.

Feel free to share any of your finds on Neighbourly for others to see!
