SUMMARY:Freshwater - the Good\, the Bad\, the Future
DESCRIPTION:Join Lan Pham (former Environment Canterbury Councillor\, Freshwater Ecologist to hear about the wonders of our native fish and the latest on the state of Aoteroa New Zealand’s freshwater; the implications for both human health and the health of our environment; and what is happening (or not happening) nationally\, internationally and locally to ensure we can have healthy\, safe\, drinking water and freshwater ecosystems for us\, our kids and generations to come.  Lan Pham says “Clean\, healthy freshwater is absolutely critical to the health of not only our environment\, but ourselves.” \n\n\nThe evening will be complemented by a panel with Annette Litherland\, Regional Coordinator at NZ Landcare Trust and closely involved in the local Motueka and Moutere Catchment Collectives and Barbara Nicholas\, a local expert in community engagement. After a short introduction they will exchange their knowledge and take part in answering questions from the public.  The meeting will be MC-ed by Steve Richard\, owner of the Jester House\, well known in the area\, and an active member of the Moutere Catchment Collective. Although Lan is also a Green Party candidate\, this event is a non-political event with our freshwater environment as the theme of the night. \nLan Pham’s background is in Freshwater Ecology (MSc) where it was Aotearoa’s quirky endangered native fish that first got her involved in tricky intergenerational issues like freshwater pollution and climate change. Over the last 15 years Lan has worked with community groups\, schools\, farmers\, iwi and government agencies across Southland\, Otago and Canterbury on grass-roots freshwater restoration projects\,  as a freshwater ranger for DoC and as founder and trustee of Working Waters Trust. \nLan has served the last 6 years in Local Government as a Regional Councillor on Environment Canterbury from 2016 – 2022 where she championed action for nature\, climate and people. Her initial election campaign for Environment Canterbury in 2016 was launched while on a year-long placement on Raoul Island in the Kermadecs – a five-day\, 1000km boat ride away. \nLooking at the state of our freshwater environment\, Lan says: “Getting ourselves out of this mess is about leaving a better future for our kids and grandkids. We all have a part to play in this. We can all be part of this change through our votes\, through using our voice\, through taking action.”

SUMMARY:WEBINAR - Your money has power! Find out about the carbon emissions of your savings and how YOU can make a difference
DESCRIPTION:Your money has power! Find out about the carbon emissions of your savings and how YOU can make a difference \nAre your savings working for the long-term good of our natural environment? Chances are your money is helping to fund oil and gas companies responsible for our worsening climate. \nFind out how you can make your money work for the planet in a webinar with Mindful Money’s Barry Coates.

SUMMARY:Training: asking climate questions at candidate meetings
DESCRIPTION:With the general election coming up\, MPs and candidates often hold meetings for the public (that’s you!)\, and answer questions from audience members. \nThis is where we come in. By asking powerful climate questions – and recording the answers – we can show the politicians and the public the importance of climate justice. That’s why asking questions at a public meeting is so powerful – it gets climate action on the mind of the politician\, and prompts them to make a commitment (whether for or against) that’s on record. Sometimes\, the crowd will even applaud the question – putting even more heat on the politician. \nThis training will give you all the tools to help out with this\, and find you a suitable role – whether you want to be a question-asker\, event-researcher\, video-recorder\, or something else. \nMore information on this training\, whose partners are 350 Aotearoa and Climate Shift Coalition here: Training: asking climate questions at candidate meetings | Climate Shift Community

SUMMARY:"Rethinking Home" - innovative approaches to transforming housing options in Nelson/Tasman that better respond to our environmental and social needs
DESCRIPTION:“Rethinking Home” – innovative approaches to transforming housing options in Nelson/Tasman that better respond to our environmental and social needs \nYou are warmly invited to attend a Local Matters presentation on “Rethinking Home”\,  which will look at innovative approaches to transforming housing options in Nelson/Tasman that better respond to our environmental and social needs\,  on Wednesday 16 August 7:30pm at the Māpua Hall. \nMembers of NelsonTasman2050\, a local Housing and Urban Development Think Tank\, will discuss the housing challenges that we face in our region. Our speakers will present initiatives and innovative design approaches that better respond to the region’s environmental and social needs. \nThey will look at the pressures placed on the overburdened housing sector and explore ways that we can build more sustainably\, affordably\, and thoughtfully within our local communities. Speakers on the night are NelsonTasman2050 members Magdalena Garbarczyk and William Samuels\, both architects\, and Jan Heijs\, a civil engineer. \nThe Nelson/Tasman region ranks in the top five most expensive in the country for housing affordability. Jan Heijs says ‘our region’s residential growth has been unequally distributed to fringe suburbs and outlying towns and villages\, while living more centrally is out of reach for most‘. Willam Samuels adds ‘urban intensification has been misguided as uncoordinated backyard infill development. This has resulted in a lack of housing choice\, poor environmental qualities\, rising costs of living and rising greenhouse gas emissions.’ \nThis trend needs to be re-balanced to enable more affordable housing\, reduce our collective carbon footprint and to facilitate quality urban environments with a variety of housing options\, enabling walking\, cycling and public transport as real mobility choices. \nFeaturing an overview of the advocacy work that NelsonTasman2050 is undertaking\, along with presentations from two local architectural practitioners on their low cost\, sustainable designs\, this event is designed to generate discussion and spark ideas about what type of housing we want and what is appropriate for our local context.

SUMMARY:How much energy is involved in using your computer? WEBINAR
DESCRIPTION:The Take the Jump Campaign invites us to reduce our consumption by making several changes. \nWhile the “End of clutter” shift encourages us to keep our electronic devices\, amongst which our computers\, tablets and phones\, for at least 7 years\, the way we use them\, and specifically the way we use data\, can also have an impact on our planet and can certainly be made more environmentally and climate friendly. \nAdrian Cochrane\, one of our tech’ expert amongst our Forum members\, specialised in software and programming\, will guide us in this discussion\, highlighting how computing is also linked to the environment\, but also sharing practical tips and a mindset for minimizing the impact of our computing on the environment\, as well as policy recommendations for system change\, and how individuals can encourage it. \nInterested in joining this conversation?
