@lightweight Hi Dave....did you send me a message recently?I remember seeing something flick up but was busy with visitors but now can't see it. Sorry. I've been thinking I need to catch up with you. Have been unexpectedly busy with Untouched World Foundation contract work since the person who took over the lead role from me had a miscarriage & subsequent rough time. Looking forward to my last piece of work with them Nov 7-9 then off on holiday for nearly 3 weeks in Fiordland. Hoping u r well.
Very disappointed in Christchurch voters. Sara would have been a superb mayor. Very future focused

Why Outdoor Education is vital for Kiwis | Natalie Kelly McNulty - ARPro posted on the topic | LinkedIn

It keeps unengaged learners in education. It teaches leadership, safety, risk management, and interpersonal skills.

Exploration and navigation are woven into our identity: Kupe, Sir Edmund Hillary, Peter Blake, Lord of the Rings.... Outdoor Ed keeps these stories alive for a generation growing up increasingly disconnected from place. As our cities grow, Outdoor Ed ensures our rangatahi remain rooted in the land, in our collective histories, and in nature itself. And if it didnโ€™t make a difference, more than 370 high schools wouldnโ€™t be investing in staff, qualifications, equipment and spending nights away from home to make it happen. ๐—™๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐—บ๐—ฒ, ๐˜๐—ต๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜€๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—น.

In a country facing a mental health crisis, itโ€™s time we recognised Outdoor Education for what it is: not just another subject, but a lifeline. Iโ€™ve spent the last 16 years working in this industry because I believe in it with my whole heart.

Stop the Government taking away Outdoor Education

Outdoor Education gives young people opportunities they canโ€™t always get in a classroom. It builds resilience, confidence, leadership, teamwork, and problem-solving skills. It keeps students engaged in school, especially those who struggle in traditional settings, and connects them with Aotearoaโ€™s unique environment, culture, and outdoor heritage. These are life skills that benefit every student, no matter their future pathway. But the Ministry of Education has indicated that Outdoor...

I support Palestine Action. I hate all forms of violence. I wish no harm on anyone. I just want a kinder, fairer, greener world. Apparently this makes me a terrorist. But I am the opposite of a terrorist.

Interesting to listen to Nate Hagens (Director of The Institute for the Study of Energy & Our Future (ISEOF)) on the idea of the Great Simplification. Some similarities to Project Drawdown with the basic premise being that we cannot continue to believe in continual growth on a finite planet. Worth a viewing & perhaps a follow through with more of his videos & a read of his substack https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5VWZm7ESfk

Now this was an unsettling yet interesting read. What struck me is that I see this impacts already in more jobs becoming precarious & normalised as thus. As one person commented, ' Assets owners get leverage. Workers get metrics". And most of us don't see it happening because we believe new developments will make life easier perhaps happier. We in the comfortable middle class are so often complacent until the job cuts due to AI impact us up to then we have been complicit
