'Skip Netflix' to be inspired by Wao's climate change talks
Organisers of the Southern Lakes Climate Action Festival reckon locals can switch off Netflix and check out the big talks making taking place every night this week locally instead.
Wao Summit is making it easy to understand climate change and giving people the tools to take action.
The festival provides access to knowledge and information from New Zealand's leading experts and the region's very own heroes.
"The big talks of the week are kicking off tonight so why not skip Netflix this week and come along to these not to be missed conversations."
