Inspiring Change for a Sustainable Future

The CJWG wish to remind you to save the date of our upcoming Plastic Free July event – “Inspiring Change for a Sustainable Future” on 13th July. This event promises to inspire and empower you to have influence in your community. This half-day, hybrid event will deliver timely, relevant and clear information on Plastic-Free and Zero-Waste practices that will raise your awareness of the issues, inspire you to take action, help us build momentum in implementing these initiatives and promote the sustainable practices we need to adopt.

By attending this event, you will

• gain a deeper understanding of the environmental impacts of plastic waste and the benefits of zero-waste practices.
• learn about the theological and ethical foundations of environmental stewardship within faith-based contexts.
• acquire actionable tips and strategies for reducing plastic use and waste in your daily life.
• be equipped with knowledge on how to implement zero-waste practices in your home, workplace and community.

Presenter

Presenter selection is proceeding and will be announced in due course, but we are excited at the quality presenters who are available for this event.

Venue

We anticipate offering the in-person part of the event in a community facility in the inner west CBD fringe of Auckland.

For those outside Auckland, we invite you to consider organizing a local viewing event at your community venue, where you can join with local groups to take part in the livestream. Let's come together to learn, connect, and take meaningful action towards a more sustainable future.

Please prayerfully and carefully consider if you can be involved in offering a community venue in your community. It is not difficult to do – venues will need to provide good internet connectivity and some very basic technology that you well might have already. We would also request you consider providing participants at your venue with hospitality by way of refreshments. CJWG would support venues by providing advice and technology assistance, access to marketing material, promoting the specific venue as part of the overall promotion of the event and adding an option to the registration platform so participants could register directly to attend a community venue.

If you want further information about hosting a community venue, please contact Peter Lane directly at peter.lane@sdcs.co.nz.

We believe that this event will be much better for experiencing it in community.

"Join us to learn practical, actionable strategies for living a zero-waste and plastic-free lifestyle. Our expert speakers will equip you with the tools and knowledge to make meaningful changes in your daily life and community, helping you take immediate steps towards sustainability."
