As a little granola, I’m always on the lookout for ’signs of sustainability.’ On Waiheke Island, the park toilets were worm composting, and the Mudbrick wine yard we tried to have a tasting at (it was closed) is certified sustainable and organic by a NZ organization. Waiheke Island is also hosting CultureFest, a massive musical gathering (that we unfortunately won’t be attending) and it claims to be zero-waste, zero-impact.
