NOMINATE YOUR ZERO WASTE HERO

Zero Waste Awards

From food to fabric, construction waste to the circular economy, and everything in between, the 2022 Tāmaki Makaurau Zero Waste Awards celebrate the mahi of those working to reduce waste to landfill across our city.

Nominations are now open until 31 August, so if you know of an unsung hero/es who should be celebrated, nominate them at ecomatters.org.nz/zerowasteawards.

EcoMatters Environment Trust is organising the 2022 awards with support from Uru Whakaaro, and in partnership with Auckland Council, as part of its aspirational goal for Tāmaki Makaurau to be zero waste by 2040.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Outdated 'Recent Notices in New Zealand'

Fiona from Henderson

Can anyone here or from Neighbourly.co.nz please explain to me why we have the so called ''Recent Notices in New Zealand' a.k.a. death notices tab here on Neighbourly when if fact, the most recent death notice is from 2023?
I don't know if anyone has used this tab recently, if ever, I only used when looking for a friend's recent death notice.
If this isn't going to be updated or in fact be what they say it is, 'Recent Notices in New Zealand', then please replace it with something we can all access with up to date information, maybe bring back the groups option - just a thought.
Any ideas people?
