Happy New Year everyone!
Let's see if we can reduce our Carbon Footprint a bit in 2018.
A little less red meat, a little less dairy.
Ride the bicycle on the weekly Fish'n'Chip run.
Use public transport a bit more.
Accelerate gently; Downsize the car; Sell it all together! Brake on the straight before it's too late. (That's just good driving.)
Recycle all plastics. (I know; polystyrene is hard to recycle ethically. Can we do something about that?)
Make less garbage.
Compost your kitchen waste.
Grow some veggies and fruit. (Potatoes, beans, corn, silverbeet, beetroot, spring onions, herbs, strawberries, feijoa, lemons, and flowers!)
Yes, it matters. When the 100th monkey does it, they will all do it.

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!
