#cashfortrash
Every day volunteers are cleaning our beautiful beaches of plastic waste.
We want to say thank you with a big smile. That is awesome. It will also be awesome if everybody takes the bottles back instead of littering the street, the ocean and the beach. It is time to install a cash for containers system now.
°
Bottle deposit schemes are getting real, tangible results around the world where they’re already been introduced - places like Germany, have tripled recycling rates since getting bottle deposits. This is an opportunity New Zealand can’t miss out on, especially if we want to get serious about tackling our waste crisis.

Please support the #cashfortrash, #cashforcontainers or the #KiwiBottleDrive campaign and sign the petition.

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟
While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.
We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
-
80.4% Community feedback and transparency is needed.
-
19.6% No. This would be impossible in practice.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.3% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.5% ... It is complicated
