We're [D] gonna to save the world
But [A7] first we're gonna need a [D] plan
[Men] (We need a pla-an, we need a pla-an)
We [D] want to make it better
Be[A7]fore it gets out of [D] hand
[Women] (So out of ha-and, way out of ha-and)
[G] Climate change or stopping wars which one do we choose?
[D] Maybe we can throw a dice [A7] catch us on the news
We're [D] gonna to save the world
But [A7] first we're gonna need a [D] plan. [A7]

[Em] Climate change, what the
[A7] Hail you say, happened to the [D] weather?
[Women] (The weather, what happened to the weather?)
[Em] Who’s to blame?
[A7] Forestry, people or [D] chickens
[Men] (Who you calling chickens?)
We [G] burnt the trees and [A7] started global warming
[D] Call a hui, back to [Bm] basic
Just [G] keep on taking
[A7] One little step at a [D] time. [A7]

[Chorus]

[Em] Stopping war
[A7] Why do we kill one a[D]nother?
[Women] (Why do we kill? Kill one another?)
With [Em] me, in charge
We’d [A7] stop man’s hunger for [D] power
[Men] (Hunger, hunger for power)
[G] Kill the inciter or [A7] spread the love
Or [D] put all our faith in the [Bm] lord above
Be [G] happy and contented and
[A7] Always, be there on [D] time. [A7]

[D] You write the verses and [G] I’ll write the chorus
([D] You write the verses and [G] I’ll write the chorus)
[E] Nah, you write the verses (nah [A] I’ll write the chorus)
([E] You write the verses and [A] We’ll write the chorus)
[F] I’ll write the verses and [Bb] You write the chorus
([F] You write the verses and [Bb] we’ll write the chorus).

We're [F] gonna to save the world
But [C] first we're gonna need a [F] plan
(We need a pla-an, we need a pla-an)
We want to make it better
Be[C]fore it gets out of [F] hand
(So out of ha-and, way out of ha-and)
[Bb] Climate change or stopping wars which one do we choose?
[F] Maybe we can throw a dice [C] catch us on the news
We're [F] gonna to save the world
But [C] first we're gonna need a [F] plan
(We need a pla-an, we need a pla-an)
We're gonna to save the world
But [C] first we're gonna need a [F] plan. [Bb][F][C][F][****]

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!

💨 Wellington: Is the real summer finally here?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

It’s the talk of the town (and every coffee queue): the Wellington "summer" has felt more like a very long, very damp spring! 🌧️ We’ve definitely had our fair share of grey skies and raincoats lately.

In fact, The Post reports that our "pretty average" summer has been tough on the local venues and events that usually thrive under the sun. But don't pack away the sunscreen just yet!

The good news? The next couple of weeks are looking a bit more "settled" (the Wellington word for "not a gale-force downpour"). With autumn officially here, now is the time to squeeze every last drop out of the season! ☀️

Any local hidden spots or activities you’d recommend for a calm Wellington day? Drop them in the comments! 👇
