Choice News Tuesday: 90% of new renewable energy is now cheaper than fossil fuels

We’ve hit a tipping point, where choosing clean energy is the smart choice, and not just because we want to reduce our carbon emissions 🌍⚡💸

Thanks to major tech improvements and mass production over the past decade, the cost of wind, solar, and other renewables has dropped fast. As a result, most new power capacity built around the world came from renewables, and every continent added more clean energy than fossil fuels.

Money — the ultimate decision-maker in politics and business — is finally lining up with climate action. A big win for the planet (and maybe our wallets?)

We hope this news brings a smile!

A newcomer’s journey: Finding freedom from the food in Addictive Eaters Anonymous
I discovered I was an addict to food.
Before joining Addictive Eaters Anonymous (AEA), I never really understood what addiction was. I thought only "bad" people had addictions. It turns out addiction isn’t limited to alcohol and drugs; it also includes food. Addiction is an illness that does not discriminate, and being an addictive eater has nothing to do with being good or bad.
My life, as an addictive eater, was a struggle.

When things get overwhelming, what do you do to reset?

It’s been a little full-on at the office lately, and the Neighbourly team found ourselves chatting about something we all experience: stress.

It’s been a little full-on at the office lately, and the Neighbourly team found ourselves chatting about something we all experience: stress.

We got talking about the power of nature — green spaces like parks, bush walks, or even just sitting under a tree, and blue spaces like the ocean, lakes, or rivers. Research agrees: being in nature really does help calm the mind. We’re lucky here in Aotearoa to have such beautiful spots right on our doorstep!

But sometimes, getting out for a walk or escaping to the beach isn’t an option. So we’re curious...

We want to know: What do you do to find a moment of calm when life gets a bit too much?
A hot cuppa? A good playlist? Staring out the window?

Let us know ... your go-to might help someone else breathe a little easier, too.
