I may be a bit slow off the mark, but I just discovered The Elders, a group of eminent global leaders with a formidable amount of life experience between them, who have joined forces with their grandchildren to spread awareness about the catastophic risk of climate change to future generations. With such powerful and respected members as Nelson Mandela, Desmond Tutu and Jimmy Carter, let's hope they have what it takes to inspire our leaders!
Last week I raved about fab clothes-trading site iSwish. This week I have cause to rave about it again, because they're giving away some great prizes to people who join up and contribute to their Christmas Wish List forum.
Fellow Aucklanders, get yourself to:
- Tomorrow, Saturday December 5, is the Planet A March + Concert for the Climate. The march starts at 1pm in Albert Park and goes up Queen St to Myers Park, where the concert will go off. Organised by the Sign On folks, Rhys Darby will be the concert MC and Opshop, Don McGlashan, Midnight Youth and others will rock Myers Park.
- If you're of the pedal-powered persuasion, the Auckland chapter of Ride Planet Earth have organised a mass bike ride as a warm-up to the March + Concert. It starts at 11 am from the Auckland Domain's Winter Gardens. More info here.
- The Grey Lynn Twilight Farmers Market on Saturday 19 December from 6-9 pm at the Grey Lynn Community Centre, 510 Richmond Road. A great opportunity to stock up on produce for Christmas Day or edible gifts.
