Building a Resilient, Sustainable, and Thriving Community for the Future
Kia ora koutou,
Ka nui te mihi atu ki a koutou! Our watering roster is just about full, and our many seedlings planted this month will be able to thrive thanks to our fabulous community 💚 We only need one person to fill a spot on the week beginning Jan 20th – if that’s you, please let us know!
Kia ora koutou,
Isn’t it lovely to watch the rain fall over the weekend knowing it’s soaking deep into the soils, ready for our plants to grow big and strong?
Kia ora koutou,
Pizza, friends, high mauri conversations – thanks for joining us in the māra today for our final pizza event of the year. Here’s to an awesome productive week of high energy moons and stellar weather!
Kia ora koutou,
What a treat it’s been to have much needed rain washing over the māra. The soils are full of moisture again and everything is standing upright happily photosynthesising. Also, check out the surprise taewa (pic above) found in the yaćon bed!
Kia ora koutou,
Ehara taku toa i te toa takitahi, engari kē he toa takitini
My success should not be bestowed onto me alone, it was not individualsuccess but the success of a collective
Ka nui te mihi for your continued work in our shared space. It’s truly flourishing at the moment. What a joy!
Kia ora koutou,
Hope you’re all keeping well on this Tirea moon. At least the sun has been shining to keep our spirits high!
Kicking off with a huge mihi to Matua Rob and Pourewa for achieveing their Hua Parakore verification. This is such a massive achievement and we want to celebrate how much work and care this has taken. Super proud of you Rob <3 thanks to the rōpu from GP that came along to celebrate. We received a kōwhai tree to commemorate the occasion and this will be planted somewhere in the māra soon.
Keen to see a quality Pt Chev streetscape take shape? It’s time to raise your voice! Let Auckland Transport know they should crack on with upgrading our main streets – keeping footpaths free by giving people proper room to ride and scoot. More…
The Albert-Eden Climate Action Plan is available to read and download on the Auckland Council website. Thank you to all who contributed to helping decide on the actions that will build resilience against climate change.
20 May to 20 June 2022
The Government’s Emission Reduction Plan comes out in May 2022 – the first opportunity we’ve had to see and comment on the targets for carbon emission reduction, in three steps to 2035.
This is a crucial stage in Aotearoa’s commitment to play its part in keeping the temperature rise to 1.5C degrees. But there is a real risk that MPs will be distracted by other urgent business, and underestimate the importance of urgent, decisive action now. If we do not seize this opportunity, we and future generations will have to live with the consequences. Please act now, in this old-fashioned but highly effective way, to ensure that our MPs get the message loud and clear, and feel supported to act urgently for a better future.
The National Campaign for Emission Reduction is reaching out to all Climate Aware people in Aotearoa, and asking you to send Postcards of Support to your local MP, Ministers and List MPs during the period from 20th May to 20th June.
Postcards will be seen as representing a greater level of effort than just signing a petition – they will load up the MPs’ in-trays with support, and the best ones will go up on their walls!
The MPs in all political parties need to support the Emission Reduction Plan, and to collaborate and move with urgency to meet the targets for our country to play its part in the global effort to keep Planet Earth liveable.
We have bike stands at last on the Huia Rd side of the Pt Chev mall – to replace the ones removed many years ago and the wobbly one removed recently.
Thanks to our Local Board members and AT.
