Secondly a reminder for those of you who would like to be involved in consultation that submissions on New Zealand's Climate Change Target are due by June 3. This is a very important piece of consultation and there are direct links to things that concern many people who are interested in alternative transport. If we could change NZ's focus away from road building and towards effective public transport and the use of cycling and walking, we would be taking a step in the right direction (so to speak). The discussion document and submission details are available via http://www.mfe.govt.nz/sites/default/files/media/Climate%20Change/climate-change-consultation-document.pdf
and if you would like a quick, pre-prepared submission which you can also personalise as you wish, try here: http://fixourfuture.nz/
There are many other aspects besides transport issues involved in this country's policies on addressing climate change, and you may want to have your say on those as well.
WAIWHAKAREKE WORKING BEE :NOW moved to 6th JUNE
Saturday 6 June 2015 - We will be planting. Please try and come to this working bee as we need every pair of hands we can get for planting.
9am - midday
Meet in the car park on Brymer Road opposite the zoo.
Bring a spade and wear your gumboots as it maybe wet in the area we're planting. Best to bring gloves to wear and most importantly morning tea.
It would really help us a lot with planning the amount plants to have at the Park on the 6th if you could RSVP by Wednesday 3 June if you're planning to attend. Look forward to seeing you on Saturday morning.
Cheers Moira Co-convenor of Friends of Waiwhakareke
