Not so much a resource as a source, but I recently met up with Sue Sparks who is importing Velorbis bikes into New Zealand with her partner Martin. They are lovely bikes - they seem to fit the Frocks on Bikes idea beautifully.
Hey Mike
I did a quick search of Intersect members in Dunedin, and your name came up. The reason I'm looking for Intersect members in Dunedin is that I am organising a movie screeninig of the Age of Stupid, and I thought you might be interested. The screening is next Wednesday, at 7.pm, College Auditorium. The screening is gold coin donation.
It is being organised by the New Zealand Youth Delegation (in conjunction with SEA Otago). Basically, we are a group of passionate young people who are going to Copenhagen in December to represent your views on climate change. Following the screening of "The Age of Stupid" we will have an open discussion where you can tell us what message you want the Youth Delegation to convey in Copenhagen. What do you want us to tell the world?
I'm sure you know about the movie, but if you want more info, then check out www.ageofstupid.com.
Would be really good to see you on Wednesday!

Hi Mike
I just did a search on Intersect to find people in Dunedin because
I wanted to invite you to a 350 Climate Action Group's FUN raiser, this coming Friday at the Regent Theatre.
My band - the Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra are doing a gig as part of our National Tour, and we want to pack out the Regent Theatre. $5 from each ticket purchased through the '350 Climate Action Group' (not the box office) go straight to funding their important climate action activities.
I have just moved to Dunedin and keen to get involved in with some like-minded people. For ages I have been thinking about initiating Intersect in Dunedin and I think there is loads of potential.
I am throwing a call-out to others in Dunedin who might also be interested in putting their heads together around this. There are some great models in Auckland and Wellington that is really informal but a great opportunity to network with other sustainability practicioners.
Let me know if you are interested.
Cheers, Ella Lawton

Just wanted to let you know about the new "Fair Trade Dunedin" group on Intersect, through which we're hoping to make Dunedin the 1st Fair Trade City in New Zealand!
Join up to find out how to become a fair trade workplace, uni, school or faith group, as it's as simple as putting the kettle on and brewing a fair trade cuppa!
Loads of attachments available, with the potential to be added to the growing list below, so just yell out or pop by Trade Aid on George Street to say hi any Thu, Fri or Sat :-)
Just discovered this excellent forum and with Fair Trade Fortnight and the theme of the environment and fair trade fast approaching in May, make sure you join our "Trade Aid Dunedin" facebook page or email us at dunedin@tradeaid.org.nz to join our database.
Would love to see you at one or more of the film, coffee and "big bang" drumming events we've got planned!
