PLASTIC BAGS
PLASTIC SHOPPING BAGS I am tired of the “customer” getting blamed for those plastic shopping bags that many shops insist on “selling” to us. They are in “dreamland” if they think charging more and more that less will be going to the landfill. It is about time these shops looked at changing their plastic bags into a more environmentally friendly bag. What is wrong with the brown paper bags with twine handles that saw in Asia? These plastic shopping bags are the least of my worry, they are insignificant against everything I buy being in a non – recyclable plastic bag, wrap or tray. I take my usable bags shopping – and yet I still end up with piles of plastic that will go to the landfill. I wish I could charge them for fruit and veggie bags, frozen goods plastic bags, bread bags, meat trays, and endless plastic wrap etc. I hope I am not the only one who wants the suppliers and the shops to be far more responsible.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
