The most maddening thing about this is that restoring inanga spawning habitat is really easy. Like, the easiest, fastest results I've seen in any project. We've got to stop monitoring towards extinction and actually start spending money on fixing the problems! www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

👋 #SecretSantaAoNZ I've been vegan longer than the median human has been alive. No food allergies per se (but no watermelon flavour please). Fragrance-free is great. AoNZ-made, home-made, re-cycled, up-cycled, charitably-minded, it's all good.
Today's #SecretSantaAoNZ question is a pretty important one.
Make sure you add the hashtag to your replies so it's easily searchable for your Santa. We wouldn't want them to miss it.

Not sure they are hobbies per se but I'm a vegan baker and a cook with a strong bias toward AoNZ ingredients, a gardener as time allows with a strong bias toward natives and plants that produce food for the birds & bees, and a sewist with a backlog of projects. #SecretSantaAoNZ

For this reason, the Gates memo presupposes a false dichotomy regarding climate outcomes: The choice we are faced with is not between "good for us" & "the end of the world," but instead how much harm we are willing to tolerate, and endure, in the years to come. [8/n]
