Climate Change

Ivan from Linwood

While the wars between Ukarine/Russia & Gaza/Israel continue, I have heard no leaders/polititions etc say a word about how this sets the earth back years on any efforts to stop this. It seems like we are wasting time with agreements on lowering emissions, carbon emissions, greenhouse gas, etc, etc, etc. Organisations like UN can't agree on anything. The 1997 Kyoto Protocol agreement, the Paris agreement, in fact all Climate change agreements are useless and the planet has been set back 100's of years while these senseless countries hammer each other into the ground destroying humanity. Has anyone heard from any climate scientists recently? The only people more silent on the subject are those that did not believe. It seems to me that no one gives a dam any more.

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: Do you have a go-to adverse-weather checklist for your family? ☔⚠️

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Press, the same low-pressure system that lashed the North Island over the weekend is now making its way south, bringing heavy rain and strong winds with it. It’s a soggy start to the week for many of us.

With more wild weather on the cards, we’re curious: do you have a go-to adverse-weather checklist for your family? Or are you more of a “grab the torches and hope for the best” household?
