Oh, Absolutely Albany is great for doing that, and they were clear that while there were $ savings there were increased levels of support and accessibility.
Nelson is another stand out region for what has been achieved. http://www.nzine.co.nz/features/nelsonloop.html There are other great examples - how about West Coast students learning kapa haka from Auckland pupils by VC, or intermediate school Bright Sparks workshops where one student made slippers with LED's in them so you could see when walking down the hall with the lights out. Or high school kids making motorised paua shells. Or a recent idea from high schools using QR codes to drive a game encouraging teenage boys to run around botanic gardens checking native trees (cf. moronic game playing in bedroom). These are the kind of activities that need networking to assist sustainability; our role might be being the glue. Lets move from one off activities to co-ordinated, relevant interconnection.
