A show of numbers for Earth Hour

Earth Hour, on Saturday 27 March, is the next chance to demonstrate mass international dedication to achieving social and political change for the good of the planet.

Lessons from 350

Well that's been a pretty consuming 6 months, but boy was it fun. Starting out at just one meeting every tuesday night in may, my commitments to 350 Aotearoa steadily evolved to building the website (naturally), maintaining the facebook and twitter accounts, registering a new charity, serving as trustee, volunteer recruitment and looking after the finances (I love xero). The crunch was having my office invaded - 6 people in a… Continue

Desperately seeking people in Palmerston North

Is anyone here in Palmerston North? Does anyone know anyone in Palmerston North who might be interested? I want to participate in a local 350 event on October 24 - but I don't want to do it alone. I need co-conspirators. And a plan. And quite likely, a polar bear suit (though I can bug local costume shops about that). Continue

Sign up sheets

If you're running a stall or talking about 350 it's really important to make it easy for people to get involved in the campaign - one of the simplest ways of doing this is having a signup sheet for people to right their email address on. http://community.350.org.nz/forum/attachment/download?id=3868261%3AUploadedFi35%3A1079 is a template from the global team which you can use - if… Continue

My 350 hero of the week

Trawling the usually uninspiring Dom Post today, i came across this brilliant story that made me cry (just a little) and embodies much of what the 350 movement seems to be about... see stuff for gorgeous story and photo John Silvester is my new hero! Just an inspiration, quietly doing his thing. In an ironic way battling the elements to save the planet.To perfect the metaphor, 60 year old… Continue

350 and business engagement

I spoke to Marion Wood (co-owner of Commonsense Organics) today. Marion is current deputy chair of the Sustainable Business Network - so I raised the topic of engagement with the SBN Network, and other opportunities. It was a fruitful conversation, in that Marion supported the approach (in general terms), and also suggested a couple of other avenues for exploration. The most important thing, we agreed, was that 350 needs to be clear what it wants businesses to do as a result of engagement, and… Continue
