Many workplaces now embrace hybrid working — splitting time between home and the office. For years, people have built their routines and lifestyles around this flexibility.
But critics say it weakens team spirit, slows training, and makes collaboration harder.

New Zealand has among the highest proportions of threatened or at-risk species in the world, and around 25 million native birds are killed by introduced predators every year. But it's not all bad news - when predators are removed or controlled, nature bounces back fast. We’ve already seen it happening in many parts of the country!
People all over Aotearoa are doing their bit - setting traps in their backyards, planting natives, volunteering, or donating. You can too! Backyard trapping is one example of effective individual action.
What do you think? Can we reach our Predator Free target in 2050?

Hamilton City councillors voted unanimously to embed art in the city’s infrastructure, backing a policy that allocates up to 1% of future project budgets to creativity.

The draft Arts in Infrastructure policy means new bus shelters, bridges and even footpaths can include design from the outset rather than art being tacked on later.

After spotting Go Eco’s food rescue ad for homeowners with excess produce, she signed up — and before long volunteers were in her backyard hauling out crates of grapefruit, lemons, oranges and mandarins. All up? More than 240kg of citrus.
