12-year-old Jorja McCarthy holds a plaque which reads, “Appollo. You will always be in our hearts like a star in the sky”.

She fits it in place with the same care and tenderness that she gave little Appollo in life. The fence she’s attaching it to is Hamilton’s new Rainbow Bridge; a place to remember the city’s departed pets.

Poll: Does littering and illegal dumping annoy you?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

There are spots in Hamilton where it’s inescapable. Supermarket trolleys loaded with rubbish. Debris accumulating under trees. Plastic bags and Lime scooters thrown down a riverbank.

There are spots in Hamilton where it’s inescapable. Supermarket trolleys loaded with rubbish. Debris accumulating under trees. Plastic bags and Lime scooters thrown down a riverbank.

The depressing tide of litter and rubbish shows few signs of going away, despite the heroic efforts of some individuals to do their bit. One gully cleanup in Donny Park netted a tonne of rubbish, including supermarket trolleys.

Does this stuff get to you? Let us know your thoughts in the comments (please add NFP if you don't want them to appear in print).

EarthDiverse is pleased to announce two new Philosophy courses starting next week with Peter Dornauf:

• PHL 216: The Meaning of Life: Wednesdays 11:00am-1:00pm beginning 31 July 2024; 3 consecutive weekly sessions.
One of life's perennial questions, the one that gets the most airtime, especially in the modern era: What does it ALL mean? There are several contenders that claim to answer this troubling question, and our series of three consecutive discussions will explore each of them.

• PHL217: Loss: Wednesdays 11:00am-1:00pm 28 Aug 2024; 3 consecutive weekly sessions.
Schopenhauer once said that life was a series of losses. Like all philosophical claims, it is three quarters true. A good deal of western literature, starting with the story of Adam and Eve losing their Eden home, is replete with narratives that deal with the subject. Today there is talk of losing our own garden home—the planet. This series of three lecturers will traverse the theme of loss—that “dark underpinning of our lives”—looking at everything from the loss of hopes and dreams to the loss of love, innocence and life itself.

All courses are available as in-person classes in Hamilton, New Zealand, live-streamed via Zoom to anywhere in the world with a good internet connection, or as video recordings available for viewing at your leisure.

For more info on these courses, and for info and registration on all of our other History, Philosophy and Language courses on offer this Term, please visit our website by clicking on the Read More link below:

But New Zealand was a shock when she returned in 2019. “I had always said to people, no, New Zealand's a clean green place. We always get raised to pick up our rubbish,” she says. “And then I got home and I was like, it's terrible."
