Poll: Would you take a 1.5-hour hike for a shop? ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿฆ

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Canterbury, you have a hidden treasure right on your doorstep ... though it does come with a 1.5-hour walk up the stunning Rakaia Gorge Walkway.

Along the trail youโ€™ll find The Fantail Shop showcasing small artworks by local artisans. Even better, every purchase supports the Fantail Trust, helping protect and restore biodiversity on the north bank of the gorge.

So weโ€™re curious: would you take a 1.5-hour hike for a shop? (And for local biodiversity, of course ๐ŸŒฟ)

Got more greens than you know what to do with? ๐Ÿฅฆ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿฅ•

Whether itโ€™s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, donโ€™t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? ๐Ÿซ

A person is crossing a bridge and sees a boat full of people, yet there isn't a single person on board.
How is this possible?

Poll: Have we lost our "Clean & Green" edge? ๐ŸŒ

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press just released an article on the proposed plan to pump sewage into the sea, and itโ€™s got us thinking. Weโ€™ve always been proud of our environment, but is the "Clean and Green" reputation still earned?

Whatโ€™s your take? Are we doing enough to look after our backyard? Is it time for a new slogan? ๐Ÿ’ฌ
