Bread waste

Jo from Epsom

Yesterday I saw a local bakery that had a full bin of bread left on the kerb waiting to be disposed of. On one hand it's reassuring to know as business they do make fresh bread daily, on the other hand I was thinking about all the people and families that struggle to put food on the table. I was just bystander that happened to see this, wondering if we could do something to avoid all the food waste. It felt so wrong to be wasting food.

Poll: Would you want an unconventional funeral?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Funerals can cost as much as $22,000 and the planning can be stressful especially at a time when loved ones are grieving. Some New Zealanders are re-imagining funerals by making their own coffin or having a relaxed ceremony at home. Would you want a less traditional funeral? Share your thoughts below.
