Have you got your item ready for the list-a-thon? Our SBN rangatahi have! Malikah Davy and Rosie Sommerville have joined forces with Little Big Shed and GoodSense to bring this unique event to life. 🎉 🎉 The Little Big Shed is a game-changing business model that values shared ownership over endless consumption. As Rosie from our Regenerate Nature team puts it, "Our resources are finite, yet we consume as if they’re endless. Nature can’t keep up with our demands. It’s time to create a system where we share and protect our natural world". 💪 At SBN, we’re working for future generations by empowering young sustainability leaders and amplifying their voices. Our rangatahi are calling for change in consumer behavior to build a circular, regenerative and equitable future. 🔄 🌊 Will you be part of the shift? Join us on Tuesday 12th Nov to help drive this change. Register here: https://lnkd.in/dUCNGK3Z And stay tuned for more - our rangatahi are only just getting started!

Our team's highlight of last month was SBN's annual giveback day 🙌 This year we visited our project partners (and friends) at Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei and worked with them in te Pourewa māra kai. We are very grateful to be hosted by Ngāti Whātua and they put some sunshine on for us too ☀ Why do we love our giveback day so much? 🌱 reconnecting with nature 👂 sharing stories, especially with the plants 🤝 meeting and working with our network 👨🌾 the rewards of physical mahi We can't wait for next time!!

Our Impact and Investment Lead, telling it like it is. Oi! NZ Govt! Where's your homework! No skipping class!

Find out on Tuesday 29th at our hi-energy morning of connections, caffeine, and a bold mashup of waste-to-product solutions, courtesy of two of the hottest circular economy protagonists (and social media influencers 😉) Rui Peng from Critical. and Anson Kong from Spacebar Design . These two circular jedi are using the force to turn plastic hard hats at eol into great circular products. If you're ready to remix your approach to waste, we’ll see you there! 🎶♻️ Sustainable Business Network investors exclusively though .... so if not part of the whanau, get with the programme already. 💚 Rego deets in the comments.

Cool news: I'm hosting a live recording of This Climate Business with economist and former Productivity Commissioner Ganesh Nana at Sustainable Business Network and Rachel Brown ONZM (She/Her) on November 7. Whoop! Ganesh is a passionate Kiwi with strong thoughts about creating an economy that's "better for all". I'll explore with Ganesh the foundations of a new regenerative, circular economy that prioritizes rights, rules, and obligations we can all agree upon. We’ll delve into the objectives of our economic system and challenge the traditional “more is better” mindset, examining how we can create an economy that truly serves everyone, including future generations — ensuring choices are meaningful, not just plentiful. Be part of the live audience - and enjoy some great coffee and quality networking. #sustainability #productivity #nz #economics #equity Rachel Brown ONZM (She/Her) https://lnkd.in/gNb_qKJu
