Gene Sharp identified over 195 non-violent actions. One of these was making submissions. There is a widespread campaign for the 80% of us who are concerned about the climate crisis (IPSOS 2022 & Attitudes & Values Study UoA 2023) to make submissions to:
Stop the war on nature
We did not vote for this. We need to be loud and strong in our refusal to allow this to happen.
Submissions are due by 11.59pm Friday April 19th. One week and a bit. Find time over the weekend. Review it in an evening. Do it with Whanau/family and or friends. Write your submission on your own. It does not matter how. It does not have to be perfect. It is best in your own voice/writing.
To make this easier The wonderful forest and Bird people have put together a lot of stunning information. Including a couple of video clips. You do not have to the research. Its all been done for you. https://www.forestandbird.org.nz/sites/default/files/2024-04/Submission_Guide_Fast_track_Approvals_Bill_Forest_amp_Bird.pdf
Those fabulous people at Forest and Bird have provided guidelines/suggestions of what to write. And they provide the link to submit: https://www.parliament.nz/en/pb/sc/make-a-submission/document/54SCENV_SCF_083F0A7B-F182-41D5-0897-08DC3E31559C/fast-track-approvals-bill.
It not too difficult as a step by step process.
So please find the time, join the clarion call to stop this WAR ON NATURE
Together we can do it
Mena kotahi te rākau ka whati, ki te kāpuia e kore rawa. Mā ngā tikanga e whakamanawa ana i te mahinga tahinga o te iwi e ora ai tātou.
Should there be but one stick it will break. If it is bundled with others, never. The etiquette that encourages working together will ensure our survival.
