Be our guest!

Waikato Regional Council

Hi neighbours. Is erosion a problem on your farm? Join us in Waikaretu or Cambridge to hear how poplars and willows could be the solution for erosion prone hillsides and streams. Their extensive root systems bind and hold the soil in place, and some varieties also provide shelter and wind breaks.

A new form of reusable toilet paper has emerged as an environmentally superior alternative to flushing all those trees away.

Introducing family cloth, a stack of soft fabric wipes that you keep beside the toilet.

Instead of one-time-only toilet paper that you use and flush away, pick up a family cloth and simply wipe, throw in the communal washing basket, rinse, and repeat.

Please let us know if you don't wish for your comment to be considered for print.
