Neighbours' Day Aotearoa 2022
Heads up for NDA 2022. The theme for next year is Celebrating Community, Sharing Food. Everyone is encouraged to connect through kai e.g. sharing a cuppa, fresh produce, a recipe or hosting a picnic or BBQ. You can start now by sharing a recipe using an online form at neighboursday.org.nz or emailing to kiaora@neighboursday.org.nz. This could be a whanau favourite, your aunty's special chutney or your most loved cake. NDA will then share your recipe throughout the land for people to try, share and enjoy within their communities. You can post your recipe too, to P O Box 1 Paparoa, 0543. Share a recipe, share kai.
Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
