Are you ready to completely ditch plastic bags? - Reply

Matt from Henderson

I know many have commented about the plastic bag issue, but just wanted add on to this. Plastic bags have to go. They do clog up the rivers, oceans and seas. I like what all or hopefully what most of the supermarkets are doing are having most of the recyclable bags where you buy them from the supermarkets and then you can bring them back from your home to reuse them to do your groceries,etc.

If many supermarkets and retail stores are going to get rid of the plastic bags entirely which will awesome to do, then why couldn't they do the same for dairies and for bakeries as well? Follow suit.

We need to be a cleaner, greener, NZ country. We can do this New Zealand. Let our country be clean and green again and be the fighting machine that drives NZ to be a happier place for all people to live in.

Poll: Should you ask before planting tall shrubs/trees near your property line?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

It may be fine now but in a few years trees can block out light or views for neighbours.

Do you think neighbours should ask before they go ahead and plant these?
