Multimillion-dollar slice of Kiwi paradise given to charity
A multimillion-dollar slice of New Zealand’s most spectacular landscape is being donated to charity to protect it from development and ensure it remains unspoiled for future generations.
Queenstown couple Dick and Jillian Jardine are giving 900 hectares of their Remarkables Station to the Queen Elizabeth II National Trust, which is dedicated to protecting the country’s natural heritage.
The pristine land sits at the foot of the Remarkables mountain range and skirts the edge of Lake Wakatipu, some of the most recognisable scenery in the country.
The trust will hold the freehold land in perpetuity, ensuring the land and biodiversity on the property is protected. Read more here.
Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
