Poll: Can changing the way we shop actually make a difference? ๐Ÿ’ธ๐Ÿ’ธ๐Ÿ’ธ

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Shopping has become such a big part of our everyday lives, and the choices we make can influence more than we realise.

If youโ€™d like to make those dollars work harder for our local communities, consider choosing small. Households spend more than $110 billion with big businesses each year. Shifting a portion of that toward small, local retailers can make a huge difference for the wider small-business economy.

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the โ€œunpaid shiftโ€) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?

Poll: Would you take a 1.5-hour hike for a shop? ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿฆ

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Canterbury, you have a hidden treasure right on your doorstep ... though it does come with a 1.5-hour walk up the stunning Rakaia Gorge Walkway.

Along the trail youโ€™ll find The Fantail Shop showcasing small artworks by local artisans. Even better, every purchase supports the Fantail Trust, helping protect and restore biodiversity on the north bank of the gorge.

So weโ€™re curious: would you take a 1.5-hour hike for a shop? (And for local biodiversity, of course ๐ŸŒฟ)
