Poll: Will you buy plastic rubbish bin liners?

Reporter Rodney Times

New World will go plastic bag free by the end of 2018 after the results of its BagVote showed people don't want bags at all.

Last week, Countdown announced it would ban single-use plastic bags by 2018, but Foodstuffs North Island chief executive Chris Quin said he would have banned the bag anyway.

Are you pleased about the ban? Let us know in the comments.

Will you buy plastic rubbish bin liners once supermarket plastic bags disappear in 2018?

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!
