Councillor says ‘we have all f....d up’ in protecting the Waikato River

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

Mangakino’s sole elected official says agencies tasked to protect the Waikato River from algal blooms need to admit “we have all f****d up” and save the river before “it turns into something from the third world”.

Last week, the Waikato Times reported on concerns about the river’s state after multiple algal blooms had seen warnings posted at all of the river’s hydro lakes this summer.

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

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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? 🍫
