Fashion Revolution Day

Colin Maxwell from Zero Waste Hubs

The holiday may be a bit obscure but the message is urgent: we need to change our relationship to our wardrobe.
At the Zero Waste Hub, we see so much 2nd-hand clothing in pristine condition but whose owners fell out of love with them too fast to wear them out.
As part of our mission to reduce waste in Aotearoa, the Zero Waste Hub is offering a special deal from now until May 31st: come in and create a complete outfit for just $6. A bottom, a top, and a piece of headwear for the price of a fancy cup of coffee.
The catch? You've got to model the outfit for us and let us post a pic to our socials.
It's a small price to pay for a whole new outfit.

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?

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
