Informal Peace consultation

Maxine from Masterton District

Yay for the rain πŸ‘πŸŒ§πŸ’™. As a passionate gardener I'm very grateful for it! This week we could discuss how to care for mother earth by respecting and working alongside nature rather than beating our earth into submission. The health of any land is directly linked to the health of our soil and our own health. Diversity of crops, regenerative farming, reestablishment of the health of all our waterways etc etc....the time of rampant materialism, quest for power and ownership have destroyed many parts of our planet and continuing wars over what land belongs to whom is continuing to destroy towns, cities and causing the death of many. Enough!! So many people are working towards a peaceful and just world too. Let's figure out what we can do to help, in whatever small way we can πŸ‘πŸ’žπŸ’™.
Please join Diane and Maxine to share your thoughts and ideas. Things we can act upon in our own lives that CAN help our family, friends, neighborhoods, communities and therefore be part of an ever advancing civilization πŸ’–

A riddle to start the festive season 🌲🎁🌟

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

I'm a fruit. If you take away my first letter, I'm a crime. If you take away my first two letters, I'm an animal. If you take away my first and last letter, I'm a form of music. What am I?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.
