Poll: Would you pay a premium for products with lower environmental impact?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

A pioneering meat brand which aimed to get consumers to pay for the higher cost of producing beef while protecting Lake Taupō’s water quality is shutting down.

The decision to cease trading after almost 15 years in business was described as “reluctant but necessary” by owners Sharon and Mike Barton, who said an inability to sustain the company’s original purpose in the current market environment saw them shut up shop.

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
