We're giving away FREE reusable shopping bags!
Tommy’s Real Estate has always been big on supporting the local communities who have supported us. Now we are doing something for the environment!
It is estimated New Zealanders use around 1.6 billion single-use plastic bags every year. By 2050 there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean! Tommy’s is giving away 35,000 heavy duty reusable shopping bags over the next several weeks in an effort to help free our beautiful Wellington city from plastic shopping bags.
You can collect yours from any Tommy’s open home or Tommy’s office!
For the next 4 weeks we will be stationed at:
- New World Chaffers on Saturday (12pm – 2pm) and Sunday (10am – 12pm)
- Harbourside Sunday Market (10am – 12pm)
Tommy’s, more GREEN than just our branding.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
