I would like to see a list of local producers/growers/suppliers who we could all support to improve the local economy and resources. It is frustrating that the Made in NZ brand is too expensive to permit the small guy to join in and it is impossible for the individual to support them as they are largely unrecognised. I'd like to nominate the first manufacturer of local footwear, Lastrite Footwear, 48 John St, Whangarei. Suport your locals, buy homemade/grown, and get something made to last!

Great idea. I've created a new Category named "Local Producers/growers/suppliers". Would you like to "add a discussion" and list a few producers, growers or suppliers. Describe them fully, including links to their websites. Be sure then, to categorize each item you add as "Local Producers/growers/suppliers".

There is apparently a new website which is about buying locally. It was set up by the Green Party recently

The resources page appears to be in USA - is there a NZ resources page? That would seem to be appropriate place for announcement of Sustainable Living free web resources plus information on courses and workshops across NZ: http://www.sustainableliving.org.nz
