Look who we've buddied up with!
Hey neighbours - you might have heard about Electric Kiwi and our Free Hour of Power. Or that recently Canstar Blue awarded us the 2017 Most Satisfied Customers Award (Electricity Providers). But did you know we have some cool new friends?
Over at Electric Kiwi we're all about connections and building strong relationships with our customers, which is why we're proud to announce that we've joined up with the team at Neighbourly. Together, we're celebrating innovation and emPOWERing Kiwi communities (see what we did there?!)
We look forward to sharing more about our partnership with you soon. In the meantime, find out what makes us special.
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? ๐ป๐จ๐
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?
-
37% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
63% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Some Choice News!
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, weโre 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 โ and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
