IDEA: Drink Local

Beer

Drink locally produced wines and beers.

We make some pretty decent beverages here in Aotearoa, so there's no need for wines imported from Chile, or beers from Europe.

Those heavy bottles have got a pretty terrible ratio of weight : volume or price or lifespan or... anything really.

So think global, and act local.

....FOR THE ENVIRONMENT!

Leftover deep fry oil is fueling more than just backyard-converted diesel stationwagons!

It's also helping people to believe that perhaps we (that's we in the 'developed' 1st world) can all still ride around in hydrocarbon fueled vehicles like ever before without creating a series of social and environmental disasters!
