Winter Chill-out concerts

Julia from Toi Toi - Washington Valley

Don't rush home after work, chill out at Sundial Square, Richmond.
This Thursday, July 21, a local band called A Little will entertain you with their upbeat music. And while you relax, your kids can enjoy facilitated and free games.
A Little is a young 3-piece band (a lead singer, guitar and percussion) that was established after open mic jams.
They mostly play upbeat grovy internationally known songs, so you are in for a real treat!
The band is a mix of styles, people and characters: the lead singer is originally from Canada, the guitar player is from Brazil and the percussionist is from Auckland. This mix brings quite an interesting vibe to their music, that's for sure.

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!

Poll: Should we be pushing a soft-plastics recycling rollout across the whole region 🗑️

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Nelson City Council has confirmed that the kerbside soft plastic trial is continuing for the current 1,000 homes. It’s a fantastic step towards being more sustainable, but many of us are still waiting for our turn.

We want to know: Should we be pushing for a rollout across the whole region? Or are you happy to keep using the drop-off points at the supermarket for now?
Is this something your household would actually participate in! ♻️
