Hello everyone

Many of us in Transition Pt Chevalier are very concerned about the proposed changes to the Crown Minerals Act that will allow mining on conservation land (under certain conditions). You may have heard of the march, this Saturday May 1, downtown Queen St at 11am. A number of us are going, and we’d love you to join us. If you want to go by bus, there is an 045 bus that leaves Pt Chev beach at 10.05am – you can just jump on at your stop, or you can meet us there – the best thing is to text or call Niki when you arrive 02102796822. Those of us on the bus will be there by about 10.35 if it is on time!

Of course feel free to arrange carpooling or get here under your own steam.  If you’d like further info etc, call me at home 8456525.

Best wishes

Niki

Why: To provide healthy local organic food for children and an opportunity for children to learn how to grow their own food

What: I aim to emulate Ecomatters' successful organic garden pilot program that has helped several Waitakere City schools develop and maintain gardens and orchards by running a similar scheme in Mt. Albert and surrounding suburbs. Waterview school and Owairaka school have already expressed interest in being involved.
All going well, I will then look to expand the scheme to other parts of Auckland.
