Rotorua Green Drinks - 6th September 2016

Kia ora Rotorua Green Drinkers

The next Green Drinks event is Tuesday 6 September, 2016.

Topic: ROTORUA MAYORAL CANDIDATES AND SUSTAINABILITY

For the upcoming Green Drinks all the Mayoral candidates for the Rotorua Lakes Council will take part in a panel discussion. This event is an opportunity for the candidates to articulate their sustainability policies and respond to questions. Each candidate will provide a five minute presentation about their sustainability policies followed by questions from the floor.  The key question up for discussion is:

“What would a Council under your leadership do to protect/improve the environment and health of its residents, while at the same time enable a flourishing local economy?”

The candidates were given the following list as a prompt for possible issues they could discuss during their five minute presentation:
·       Wastewater and air quality
·       Waste management / recycling
·       Sustainable transport - cycling, walking, public transport
·       Reducing Council / District CO2 emissions , and increasing CO2 sinks (e.g. land use /               farming / forestry / soil carbon)
·       Healthy food-healthy people e.g. “farm-to-fridge” / “plot-to-plate” local food economy.
·       Inner city revitalisation – sustainability-related topics e.g. transport/connectivity, zoning           (commercial  vs residential)

A detailed timetable and guidelines for this event is provided below.
​

The mediator for this event will be Richard Gillies from the Rotorua Green Drinks Committee.

Where & When:
We meet at the beautiful Blue Baths on the first Tuesday of every month and you are welcome to arrive anytime from 5pm onwards and join us for a drink (open bar between 5pm and 5.30pm). The presentation will start at 5.30pm and we conclude the evening at 7pm. Entry is by gold coin donation.
