This year at the PKB HUB’s Pop-up Parlour the Pukerua Bay Climate Action Rōpū are hosting three events:
1) Let’s Talk Climate Change
Wednesday, 3 September 2025
7:00–8:30 pm, St Marks, 98 Rawhiti Road, Pukerua Bay
A talk by Mark Wendelker from Plimmerton Climate Café.
A lay person’s guide to climate change concepts.
Marks presentation explains aspects of climate change (such as carbon footprint, planetary boundaries, de-growth etc.) what they mean, how they interact and why they’re important.
2) Pukerua Bay Crop Swap
Saturday, 20 September 2025
3-4pm, St Marks, 98 Rawhiti Road, Pukerua Bay
Crop Swapping and recycling are sustainability focused events supported by the Pukerua Bay Climate Action Group, Waste Free Pukerua Bay and a local sustainability business My Bihome. Set up is at 3pm, with a karakia, then we swap to our hearts content.
Special this month:
- Drop in with Nick at Predator Free Pukerua Bay. Ask questions, get advice or buy a tunnel trap.
- Demonstration by Pukerua Bay Community Garden and Food Forest – growing microgreens as an affordable and healthy salad option.
- Stick around for the Pukerua Bay Climate Action Group’s Clothes Swap after the Crop Swap.
P.S. Please come along even if you have nothing to share that week. Swapping is not limited to home grown plants and anything ‘garden and home’ (e.g. baking, preserves, flowers) is welcome.
