who we are

On May 2015, 70 year old Blenheim resident Bill McEwan and his son Robbie 33, sat in the centre of Blenheim and fasted for a week. They were dismayed by the lack of understanding in Marlborough around climate change. They called the action a karanga - a call. They were joined at the end of the week by others and subsequently Climate Karanga Marlborough (CKM) was created. We are active in Marlborough educating, lobbying and supporting the community. 

Preamble to CKM Mission Statement

A collective of people wanting to support activities that nurture and sustain Papatuanuku (Our Earth Mother) rather than exploit and deplete...

E kore e taea te whenu Kotahi kite raranga
I te whariki kia mōhio tātou ki a tātou.
Mā te mahi tahi ō ngā whenu, mā te mahi tahi
ō ngā kairaranga, ka oti tēnei whāriki.

A strand of flax is nothing in itself, but woven together is strong and enduring. Collective efforts often result in more meaningful and sustainable outcomes.
