Posted on November 8, 2011 by Sam from Bucky Box

The Sustainable Business Network Awards are going down right now in Auckland, and we're sad we couldn't be there. We're sad not to be there, not just because we were included in the Finalists for the Social Innovation category, but because the rest of the finalists were our good friends from around the country too! In fact, we share an office with the winners (and a couple of us are trustees..). So, please lift a glass to the ever-awesome 350 Aotearoa - Social Innovation Champions for 2011! Yeow!! Keep up with the rest of the awards through Twitter at #NZSBNAwards Honourable mention to the mighty Kaibosh - fantastic Food Rescuers of Wellington. High-5's to Guy & Laura at Inspiring Stories and Emily at Urban Pantry too! Continue...
