Kitchen tiles made from skateboards, a cricket farm and yabbies on the roof - what's not to love? https://t.co/CIO88LIeLh

Clear my schedule! I'll be hidden away reading this beautiful book for the next few hours. Great work, @MoniqueFiso and the @HIAKAI_NZ team

Bringing communities together, feeding people in need, using as much of a valuable resource as possible and making it all accessible through mobile filleting stations - what an incredible initiative. https://t.co/s2dK5anc25

Big hug from Miramar up to you @abbie_reynolds, what an excellent match! I look forward to hearing what's in your 90-day plan😉

@abbie_reynolds @67george Looks great, Abbie! And here are a few of mine, who would have predicted this as a mini side hustle??

@abbie_reynolds @Auckland_Libs Hey @abbie_reynolds I'm doing a cultural competency course and we've spent 3 sessions on pepeha, also lots re Te Tiriti in the workplace. You would love it! P.S. My pronunciation keeps being complimented, so big props to you for getting SBC so onto it

Today is world bee day 💚🐝 One third of our food depends on bees. Beyond that, the seeds, fruits and berries eaten by birds and small mammals are all from plants that are pollinated by bees.⁣ Show some love for these other amazing essential workers.

@abbie_reynolds @DrJessBerentson It's been fascinating to see people get creative by using whatever they had on hand, to support the needs of community. How good would it be if NZ continued in this mindset of more mindful consumption, and always asked first "Can we use what we've already got"?

[Alison Herft @Alison_Herft]

@abbie_reynolds @AeraFoundation @NaomiAKlein I love how she talks about reframing as an "essential economy" that's about care and repair, and to think much more broadly about what a low-carbon job looks like (i.e. so much more than someone in a hard hat putting up a solar panel)

Encouraging to see this great work to recover indigenous grains and edible plants. https://t.co/7kUhNQoEO3

@louaitken Hi @louaitken i was going to get in touch to chat with you about this, related to something I'm thinking about re empowering kids through cooking skills, and transformation of food systems & culture. DM me if you have time for a catch up call sometime!

@abbie_reynolds @jacktame Love this so much.

The “Goodbye Abbie” @nz_sbc team surprise treasure hunt is on! Where will we go next, and what will the treasure be? And of course it’s not an @abbie_reynolds party without a sash...

I’m going to rename today “Use What You’ve Got Friday”, as an antidote to the Black Friday marketing that’s everywhere. Here’s my way to show it - collecting old jeans from the neighbourhood and turning them into totes, kids bags and pots.
