Poll: Is doing your bit to address climate change a priority for you in 2023?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The environment is on the mind for North Islanders after a recent study by the University of Auckland that found that Aucklanders are inhaling large amounts of airborne microplastics.

Some New Zealanders are trying to do their bit for climate change by biking more, planting trees, trying Meat-Free Mondays and only purchasing used clothing.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
