Louisa Chase is the Project Manager for EcoFest 2014. The festival runs from March 15th through to April 13th and has everything from films, to gardening and composting seminars, eco-house tours and even a sustainable fashion show.

We discuss why Kaipatiki exists, the difference one person can make, and ‘Nana Technologies’.
