Hi neighbours,

Are you going out of your way to collect plastic bags before they become illegal in NZ? Some Kiwis have admitted they are stockpiling bags before they can no longer get them from supermarkets and petrol stations.

It's been noticed that some customers have been taking plastic bags for things like single chocolate bars and drinks "to save up".

Do you find plastic bags handy for bin liners? What eco-friendly tips and alternatives to plastic can you share with your neighbours? Leave a reply to share your thoughts.

Poll: Would you let the grass in your local parks grow to feed pollinators?

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

Kiwis love our lawns and traditionally we expect our councils to keep the lawns of our public parks and verges tidy and well mowed and to get rid of any weeds. But actually a neat and tidy green lawn is a food desert for pollinators, and leaving grass unmown and letting so-called weeds like clover … View moreKiwis love our lawns and traditionally we expect our councils to keep the lawns of our public parks and verges tidy and well mowed and to get rid of any weeds. But actually a neat and tidy green lawn is a food desert for pollinators, and leaving grass unmown and letting so-called weeds like clover and dandelion flower provides food for bees and helps support biodiversity. Would you be happy if your local authority let the grass in your local parks grow long and allowed weeds to flourish?

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Sugar Mini's new home is smaller than her old one, but definitely less draughty.

The black kitten was likely raised feral in the ruins of the Christ Church Cathedral, but now lives with a family in a suburban Christchurch home.
