Hold a Nude Food Picnic

‘Nude food’ is food without single use packaging. It is often in reusable containers or beeswax wrap.

Challenge the kids at your school to have a ‘Nude Food Picnic.’ You’ll need to advertise it to each class and explain what nude food is. You might need to let parents know by email, school newsletter, or through the school’s social media channel. Explain why single use packaging is so bad for our environment, and encourage kids to make the change permanently to nude food.

A group of children at Wairakei Primary school held a Nude Food Picnic and it was a huge success. They set out blankets and invited the children with nude food to come along. Children lined up and showed them their nude food lunchbox before finding a spot on the picnic blanket. As lunchboxes were checked, each child was given a little note to say thank you to the person who prepared their nude food lunch. On the back of this note was a number for a lucky draw. The organisers pulled numbers out of a hat to award spot prizes. This added to the fun. They noticed that after this, many more students brought nude food to school regularly and made an effort to cut down on packaging.

Try this at your school and let us know how it goes!

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project.  Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

If you have an audience and market to reach, we can make that happen. Creative design, words that work and smart behind the scenes stuff that cuts through the online noise. We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
and we’ll manage your social media presence so you get the clicks, likes and engagement to grow your business. All within the budget you set, because none of this needs to cost the earth.  And the job doesn’t stop when your website goes live. We are your virtual business partner.
