If you're really serious about achieving an A/NZ government that takes the environment seriously... you're in the right place. VFOE is based on the successful campaign in the 1980s that saw first Labour & then National adopt the NFNZ policy. It’s here to elect a government that’s genuinely committed to protecting & restoring nature - now & for future generations - not destroying it. One that puts nature at the heart of decision-making.
The majority of Kiwis want meaningful environmental action from government & we already have the solutions, what we need is the political will to apply them. VFOE is enabling voters to make it crystal clear to all the parties that the stance they take on the environment is crucial to their voting decisions. So it's also enabling democracy to function. If that sounds like you ....welcome!
You’ll be helping to achieve positive change by:-
Now - signing the Kiwi Environment Election Pledge & making use of the email provided to tell your MP.
Later - taking part in the co-ordinated emailings to the parties to push the point home (optional)
And spreading the word to your family & community networks to maximise the campaign's potential.
