Poll: Do you plan to recycle your batteries?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Battery bins are popping up across Nelson Tasman — and they’re already making a difference. In just a few months, three new bins have kept 1500kg of batteries out of Nelson’s landfill.

A fun fact? These clever bins were designed right here in Nelson after no suitable option could be found anywhere else in the country (or overseas!).

So we’re wondering… Will you be adding these battery bins to your to-do list?

Keen to learn more? Max Frethey has the full story.

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!
