Happy New Year everyone!

Ross from Trentham

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.

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

I dance in the sky with green and gold, a spectacle few are lucky to behold; I’m best seen in the south, a celestial sight—what am I, lighting up the New Zealand night?
