World Oceans Day Kiwi Clean Up

Jo from Thames

WORLD OCEANS DAY KIWI CLEANUP
SATURDAY JUNE 9
10.00AM

Join Pick It Up Now to pick up rubbish along the beach and grass areas from Kuranui Bay Thames, north.
Bags will be supplied by North Island Mussels Ltd and TCDC and Coastal Bins are supplying a refuse truck or skip.
Take photos along the way and share them on our FB page!!

Pick It Up Now is a sustainability project in The Coromandel about influencing a culture change to get people to pick up rubbish rather than walk past it…however #pickitupnow stands for so much more – ways to reduce plastic usage and reducing rubbish.
The concept is in it’s infancy, however we hope to help grow it into something more significant.
We have got some key players in the tourism industry involved and keen, and are in the process of getting other businesses and more key players in the tourism industry on board as well.

For more information, go to our Facebook page and like it so you can follow us.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
