As environmental advocates, we spend a lot of time asking decision-makers to do things. When they do, we often just criticise them for not doing more.
That's why we've made a page where you can take 30 seconds thank MPs for voting for the #ZeroCarbonAct: wwf.org.nz/take_action/zeroc…

One step closer! Bring on the Third Reading (aka the final vote) tomorrow!!
Please join us for a Cross-Party Party on Parliament lawn from 12:30-1:30pm tomorrow. Having a picnic and trying to show MPs that people want them ALL to vote YES for the #ZeroCarbonAct tomorrow.
