Poll: Should restaurants and bars stop giving out plastic straws?

Mandy Te Reporter from East & Bays Courier

Hi neighbours! Plastic straws are one of the most common items found on beach clean-ups. Some food places have stopped giving them while others are giving out eco-friendly straws that are biodegradable or re-usable. Do you support this? What are your thoughts? Do you use straws often? What do you do with them afterwards?

Please add NP if you do not wish for your comment to be used in print.

ANZAC Day // We Will Remember Them

Saint Johns Butchery

Spare a thought tomorrow, ANZAC day, for New Zealand's servicemen and women, both past and present. These amazing people will be remembered and honoured this day for their courage and service to our country. For details about ANZAC parades and services in the Auckland area, check out ourauckland.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz...

Respectfully, Saint Johns Butchery will be CLOSED on ANZAC day and will reopen for business as usual on Friday.

"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."

- Laurence Binyon, 'For the Fallen' (fourth stanza)
