The Pink Walk Taupō Postponed for 2021

Pink Walk

With the uncertainties around COVID levels at the moment and what restrictions mean for different events, This is ME have made the decision to postpone the Pink Walk for 2021. We are working to find another date in the new year so that everyone gets the chance to experience the amazing event that was planned for such a worthy cause.

You can still contribute to our fundraising page for the Breast Cancer Foundation NZ by using the link to donate.

A huge thank you from us to those involved in organising the walk, as well as the sponsors and vendors.

We can't wait to see you all next year to bring the laughter, fun and pink to Taupō in support of those who need it most.

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?

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!
