Secret to long, happy marriage: eat and drink everything that's put in front of you
When asked what the secret is to almost eight decades of marriage, Chub Fisher has only one answer: his wife.
The 101-year-old former coal miner married his sweetheart Rita, now 97, in 1943 and they have been enjoying each other's company ever since.
Congratulations Rita and Chub.
Say goodbye to tyre waste
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.
