Thank you Maggie, that means a lot to us. I think we need mutual support more than ever at times like these - gotta bring everyone along with us, no matter where they're at on their climate journeys!

Dhanya, Emily, and Jenny - thanks for your update - highlighting some of the bright spots in an otherwise pretty dismal outcome in local elections. Here in Auckland we have the pleasure of an old white man with no vision, class or intellect throwing out one-line slogans with no substance or meaning and threatening to sack everyone - based on, in his terms, "an overwhelming mandate" - not really sure that 12.8% of the voting public provides much of a mandate!!! Keep up the good work.

Ah yes, the Auckland results and news since have been tough to hear - I felt very frustrated on Saturday. My hope is that given that Auckland Council has in the past worked pretty collaboratively across the table on some issues, we as the public can support councillors to do that. This tweet by councillor Richard Hills reminded me of that:

Thank you Don, we really appreciate that, and are glad you're finding Climate Club a good addition to your life! I hadn't heard of Climate Karanga Marlborough before - it seems like a great resource and community.
