Dairy farmer John Legg shows how much is possible when you focus on soil health as the foundation. Inspiring to listen to his story and reflect on the potential for our agri sector if even more farmers adopted these principles.

[Daniel Eb @Dan_eb]

"John has come to believe that agriculture is a biological system and not a chemical one."

Thanks from around the world for passing strong climate law that will help keep our planet healthy for future generations. This is global challenge, we’re all in this together 🌏

[Catherine Langabeer @CathLangabeer]

Thank you @jamespeshaw - and everyone who worked with you on this kaupapa - for your commitment and tenacity! A very proud day for Aotearoa New Zealand.

Proud to announce NZ has just passed historic climate change law to ensure a safe future for our kids and grandkids.

The Bill ensures we are at net zero carbon by 2050 as a country.

We’ve led the world before in nuclear free and votes for women, now we are leading again. 💚

30+ yrs ago Peter Thorne at Reclaim Recycling first lobbied councils for kerbside recycling but acknowledges it’s gone badly wrong - calls for product stewardship and infrastructure planning so that we can fix our broken resource recovery model.

Major inspiration from Rui Peng at Critical Group, who’ve partnered with @alliedpickfords to turn waste bubble wrap into dolly trolleys. Who knew they could #makerecyclingsexy #SBNconference2019

@FlorianGraichen presented at Ellen MacArthur event on new #plastics economy to companies whose revenues combined would = eighth largest global economy. This gives him hope - the biggest players are coming to the table.

23 July 2019. North Pacific gyre sample with the Eat Less Plastic project. Plastic massively outweighing plankton. #SBNconference2019 #endofplasticasweknowit

“50% of the air we breathe comes from the ocean. If the oceans die, we could end up wearing masks to breathe our air.” Joining the dots with Phil Somerville - Captain, Eat Less Plastic at #SBNconference2019 #endofplasticasweknowit

[Catherine Langabeer @CathLangabeer]

Excited for a day of solutions to plastics, packaging, pollution and probably many other issues starting with p at the #SBNconference2019

@zenergynz CEO Mike Bennetts has done NZ a great service by driving the creation of the Climate Leaders Coalition. It is catalysing greater action and accountability from more than 100 businesses representing 60% of NZ’s emissions. What a champion.

[Catherine Langabeer @CathLangabeer]

At the Climate Leaders Coalition 1yr on event today - plenty of rich insights big and small. One of my faves is @SkyCityGroup providing ‘Drawdown’ to hotel guests as their new “Gideon Bible” in room. Way better than the overused ‘don’t change your towel’ notice! @leaders_climate

I'm particularly moved by Mayor Cull highlighting the psychological costs of the climate crisis: "concern, distress and anxiety about the future - is part of climate change’s toll on people’s physical and mental health."

[Catherine Langabeer @CathLangabeer]

Dunedin Mayor Dave Cull "warned the [minerals forum] conference organisers he would be saying things the organisers and attendees wouldn’t like. “Afterwards they said they didn’t realise how much they wouldn’t like it.”" #ClimateCourage https://t.co/uZT1hPmwmj

The wonderful @RobSuisted showed us how he photographs native fish - it aint easy! But these incredible fish need a higher profile so people will fall in love with them and want to protect our amazing freshwater habitats.

“It was, to put it lightly, a disgrace—and not just because climate change was the number one issue that Democratic voters wanted to see discussed at the debate.” https://t.co/rSp0oqXxSI

Important piece from @RodOramNZ on how Ireland's farmers are all in to tackle climate breakdown - leaving NZ in the dust https://t.co/kdSf08DepG

@Josie_Fitzhugh Contacting National Party MPs ahead of their caucus on Tuesday asking them to support the zero carbon bill is the work I’ve been doing this evening!

[Catherine Langabeer @CathLangabeer]

What I am loving about @KateRaworth tonight is her joy, her excitement about her vision for a future that is regenerative not degenerative and distributive not divisive. Thank you!
