How is this possible?
(Susan from Massey kindly provided this head-scratcher ... thanks, Susan!)

Poll: Have we lost our "Clean & Green" edge? 🌏
The Press just released an article on the proposed plan to pump sewage into the sea, and it’s got us thinking. We’ve always been proud of our environment, but is the "Clean and Green" reputation still earned?
What’s your take? Are we doing enough to look after our backyard? Is it time for a new slogan? 💬

🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉
The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.
This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.
We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
