Join zero-waste activist, Beth Walker for a talk on sustainable living and maintaining a zero-waste lifestyle.
Beth has lived waste-free since 2018, inspired by attending one of The Rubbish Trip’s talks where she learned that recycling is an inadequate solution to our global waste crisis.
Beth tries to minimise waste in all areas of her life by fully subscribing to the refuse, repair, and reuse ethos.

Are you slowly creating a pile of 'to repair' clothing? Your favourite T-shirt has a hole in it, or your toaster broke last week? Come on down and learn how to fix it with the help of experts!
Hopper and Inner City Wellington are collaborating to host a Repair Cafe on the 29th of May, at the Hopper Refill Shop.
What is a Repair Café?
Repair Café is a movement that started in the Netherlands in 2009. Repair café events are now held internationally and have been running in New Zealand since 2016, predominantly in Auckland but also more recently nationwide. Repair cafes are free meeting places, and they are all about repairing things together – visitors with broken items and repair specialists coming together to repair and learn or just enjoy a cup of tea or coffee.
We provide the snacks, hot drinks, people who know what they are doing and tools for fixing! You bring your lovely selves, items that need repairing and koha for those helping out.

This May, our neighbours at Kaibosh are encouraging New Zealanders to get together, give a meal in May and help them provide 100,000 meals for those who are doing it tough.
The idea is that you donate to Kaibosh what you would normally spend on a meal out, with the funds going to help them do their incredible mahi of providing food to those who need it most. For every $20 donated, Kaibosh can provide 32 meals.
At Hopper, we've decided to host a community potluck. Bring a dish to share, and koha what you're able, with all the funds going to Kaibosh. From 6:30pm on Wednesday 26th May.
About Kaibosh: Founded in 2008, Kaibosh was the first food rescue organisation in New Zealand.
Operating across the Wellington, Hutt Valley, Kāpiti and Horowhenua regions, Kaibosh rescues quality surplus food from local businesses including supermarkets, farmers' markets, factories, logistics companies and growers, and redistributes it to over 100 charities and community groups supporting people in need.
