Poll: Do you plan to recycle your batteries?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Battery bins are popping up across Nelson Tasman — and they’re already making a difference. In just a few months, three new bins have kept 1500kg of batteries out of Nelson’s landfill.

A fun fact? These clever bins were designed right here in Nelson after no suitable option could be found anywhere else in the country (or overseas!).

So we’re wondering… Will you be adding these battery bins to your to-do list?

Keen to learn more? Max Frethey has the full story.

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.

While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.

And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
