This isn’t just an event for looking at information boards!

There’ll be opportunities to try things, ask questions, have a go and talk directly to the people who can help you make changes at home.

Complete our Healthy Home, Healthy Planet interactive challenge by visiting the exhibitors and answering a question at each stand. Once you’ve completed the challenge, you’ll receive a FREE sausage from the Waiuku Lions Club and a FREE eco lightbulb!

There’ll also be free hot drinks and homemade soup, giveaways and food available to purchase from the Waiuku Lions Club, including their famous hot chips.

Come along and discover your one next step

You don’t need to change everything.

Maybe you’ll discover a better way to insulate your home. Perhaps you’ll learn how to waste less food, repair something instead of replacing it, start composting, ride your bike more often or grow a few more vegetables.

Choose one new habit. Try one new thing. Start where you are.

Because climate action doesn’t have to be another thing on your to-do list.

It’s a smarter way of doing the things you already do. 💚
