Keep NZ homes stink bug free

Biosecurity New Zealand

The brown marmorated stink bug is a pest that can infest your home in the thousands, stinks when crushed, and is almost impossible to get rid of. It is also a major threat to our fruit and vegetable industries.

It’s not in New Zealand yet and we want to keep it that way. It hibernates inside … View more

Poll: Living responsibly

Bhartiben from Harbour View

My husband and I did the Wanganui Journey(one of the Great Walks DOC offers) with our son and nephew in 2013. It was the first outdoor adventure we did together. It was the best thing I ever did. Since then we have completed 7 of the Great walks.

It was the first outdoor adventure we did together. It was the best thing I ever did. Since then we have completed 7 of the Great walks. DOC has done a fabulous job and I take my hat off to the Wardens and volunteers. Just a couple of weeks ago I went for a walk along the Petone Esplanade and found no rubbish on the foreshore (not that I went looking for it), but I saw a new electonic rubish bin that called itself SMART with its blinkers on full to the brim and smelling. I know for years there are volunteers who go out to pick up the rubbish some one has left behind, however I can not understand how it is that we can not take our own rubbish with us. Coming back to our Great Walk experience we knew we had to take all our rubbish with us and we had absolutely no problem with that and neither did anyone else and we were not at all surprised. Our Public places are part of the Greater Wellington Region and the environment is equal to what DOC looks after. I am putting this poll up to get an idea on how many people like the idea of their RATES BEING USED TO PICK UP OTHER PEOPLES RUBBISH!
