  • Scuttle SailGP Lyttelton for Hector's Dolphins
    August 2024: All our efforts for the dolphins in the face of SailGP have helped persuade the race organisers to pull their future sailing event from Lyttelton harbour. The SailGP chief executive Russell Coutts has expressed doubt the event will ever return to Canterbury, and he said dolphin advocates had a strong influence on their decision to go elsewhere in the future. While we will stay vigilant in case SailGP returns, we say thank you to everyone who signed our petition and spoke up for the dolphins! However, even greater threats remain - the fishing industry continues to kill dolphins as bycatch. Sign our petition calling on Environment Canterbury to protect Hector's from the fishing industry, through its regional coastal plan today: https://community.greenpeace.org.nz/p/ecan-protect-hectors

  • Stand by your pledge to protect GM Free Regions

  • We want a comprehensive bottle refund scheme for Aotearoa
    April 2022: The government has finally acted and a CRS has been proposed as part of wider recycling reforms and public consultation is happening now. The proposed scheme IS comprehensive as we asked: it includes all materials (glass, plastic, metal, liquid paperboard), and all beverage types. Now the focus of the campaign shifts: we need to make as many submissions to the government's proposal as possible by May 8. This will further encourage the government to implement a comprehensive, equitable, Tiriti-led scheme, that delivers maximum impact to the community and environment. Check out our template submission and have your say!

  • Stop the proposed cattle feedlots in Te Waihora (Lake Ellesmere) - Ōtautahi
    6 June 2023: Breaking news! Application withdrawn! We opposed this and won! Environment Canterbury has announced today that the Wongan Hills application to build feedlot barns in Kaituna Valley, Banks Peninsula has been withdrawn!! We're celebrating - and we thank you wholeheartedly for your amazing, generous and unstinting support, which has contributed to our win. We hope this means that future applications for feedlots on Banks Peninsula will be unlikely. It's clear that no hearing is required now, but we still have costs to cover for work done thus far. We will let you know more when there is more certainty about the numbers. Thank you again for your wonderful support!

  • Make Otautahi-Christchurch one-use plastic-bag free
    August 2018 Dear Changemakers Wahoo! bye bye (plastic) bag! No doubt you have heard the news that the Government is to ban one-use plastic bags. You had a hand in achieving this remarkable result. Take a bow! Yes, there’s still much we can and need to do (tackling other forms of plastic pollution and challenging the absurdity of our society’s ‘throw away’ mentality) but for now it’s time to pat ourselves on the back, wear a big smile and say ‘together, we did it’! Thanks everyone! Well done! Enjoy the moment!
