If there is one thing you can do.
Hi all,
If there is one thing you can do, apart from making good personal choices, for the environment this year it is this....
Come to the meeting 6pm Monday 6th July at the council chambers.
Over the years a small group of dedicated people have been fighting to close an outdated waste management system that is ruining the environment. If you don't think you or your family are being affected by this...think again. The toxic gases released from the landfill are in the very air you breathe. Our water, our land, our air sustains us. The landfill is adversely affecting all of these. There is an agreement in place to close the landfill however the council are dragging their feet on naming a closure date. We must encourage them to make the right decision and how we can do this is by coming to the meeting and adding our voice to protest the delay. It is now, and we are the people who must, make the council (our representatives) do the right thing for all of us. This is a key turning point for the community. Think of the planet. Think of our kids.

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)
.
