On Friday the 8th of April 2022, hundreds of students took to the streets of North Dunedin with brush and shovel in hand in honour of student Sophia Crestani, who died at a flat party in 2019 after a stairwell was overcrowded.

This is the fourth annual street clean-up, formed by parties to the Sophia Charter: the University of Otago, the Otago University Students’ Association, the local council and local fire and emergency services.

Seb Rice-Walsh spoke to students at the clean up about what Sophie Crestani’s legacy means to them.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has released its latest damning report, warning that if emissions are not curbed by 2025, the world is off to hell in a handbasket. Why, then, are we seeing media bashing cyclists, underplaying climate-positive amenities like bus networks, and spotlighting the business sector’s reluctance to truly go green?

Seb Rice-Walsh speaks to environmental sociologist Kirsty Wild and North & South editor Kirsty Cameron about the state of our media.
