Glass bottles of milk

Kay from Belfast

There has been talk about bringing the glass milk bottles back.
I will kick off this debate about bringing them back.
Question if they brought the glass bottle back would you genuinely use the service, remember you have to be home to put your bottles out, you have to wash your bottles, there is the problem of theft if you put cash out. Which means you have to buy tokens from the milkman or dairy. Lots of against options for bringing them back. BUT the reasons for bringing them back. Recycling, no more plastic. Glass is better than plastic, more jobs for people delivering the milk. Fresh milk every day. Ok now for it.
I WILL SUPPORT THIS if they bring milk delivery in glass bottles back.
How many more are for or against it

He/She who makes it, sells it.
He/She who buys it, doesn't use it.
The user doesn't know they are using it.
What is it?

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature β€” and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? πŸ›»πŸš¨πŸš“

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
