Poll: Government bans swimming with dolphins - is this the right move?

Reporter Whangārei Leader

Hi neighbours - tourists can no longer swim with Bottlenose dolphins in the Bay of Islands after research found people are "loving them too much and affecting their behaviour".

Have you swam with dolphins before? Is this ban the right move?

Say goodbye to tyre waste

Tyrewise

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.
