PLASTIC BAGS
PLASTIC SHOPPING BAGS I am tired of the “customer” getting blamed for those plastic shopping bags that many shops insist on “selling” to us. They are in “dreamland” if they think charging more and more that less will be going to the landfill. It is about time these shops looked at changing their plastic bags into a more environmentally friendly bag. What is wrong with the brown paper bags with twine handles that saw in Asia? These plastic shopping bags are the least of my worry, they are insignificant against everything I buy being in a non – recyclable plastic bag, wrap or tray. I take my usable bags shopping – and yet I still end up with piles of plastic that will go to the landfill. I wish I could charge them for fruit and veggie bags, frozen goods plastic bags, bread bags, meat trays, and endless plastic wrap etc. I hope I am not the only one who wants the suppliers and the shops to be far more responsible.

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!
