As we are rushing hither and yon shopping for the ones we love this Christmas, take a moment to pause and consider the STUFF you are buying.

Since kiwis have become ‘Amerikanized’ this excellent presentation shows us in simple terms just how our unconscious way of living, the one we think is the only way impacts on us our bodies, our environment and ultimately our climate.

according to statistics New Zealand in 2001 we sent 3.4 million tonns of our stuff to the tip - who knows what it is now !!!
