Hope Not Hate

Denis from Thames

On Friday we saw the best and the very worst.
We cannot let the despicable atrocity in Christchurch divert us from acknowledging what is good and great in our society. There is an underbelly of racism in New Zealand and hopefully the terrible events in Christchurch will be the catalyst for all of us to call it out wherever we experience it. We’re also going to see long overdue major reform of our gun laws. But there is so much that is good and great in our society. Hopefully arising out of this terrible tragedy we will become more inclusive and tolerant.

So my focus is going to be on the positive and uplifting elements in our society such as the enormously successful School Strike for Climate which was overshadowed by the shocking tragedy Christchurch. Read more at - teggtalk.wordpress.com...

Some Choice News!

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!
