Water restrictions

Rae from Maungaraki

Is anyone else furious that we have water restrictions through three entire seasons while the regional council provides free access to Asia to plunder our purest ancient aquifers? Soon we will be buying our own water back like our own wool, seafood and kiwifruit and very soon our own beef and dairy while we permit 936,000 dairy cattle pa to be shipped to Asia. Wake up NZ and protect our most precious assets. Cant we mount a campaign to place injunctions against this plunder?

Poll: Would you participate in local initiatives aimed at stopping plastic from reaching our oceans?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Volunteers will be scouring the foreshore, riverbanks, and islands for rubbish on Saturday the 13th as part of the Clean Up the Hutt event.

This initiative helps stop plastic from reaching our oceans and makes our waterways cleaner and safer for everyone.

We want to know: Should this be rolled out across all coastal cities in Aotearoa? And more importantly… would you get involved? 💚

Want the details? The Post has you covered.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
