Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Wellington’s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?
Keen to read more about "coffee math"? The Post has you covered.

41.8% I avoid spending money on coffee
-
45.5% I still indulge at my local cafe

12.7% Irrelevant - coffee is not for me
Turning Streets into Stories
We are the Aro Valley Collective, a non- profit working to bring Art Murals to the Valley. We have a PledgeMe page up for the latest Art Mural and we are nearly at 75% of our goal. With 8 days to go we need some more support from Donors so we're reaching out to all lovers of Art, storytelling, nature and basically life!! The PledgeMe page has a video where the Artist Isobel Te Aho-White shares her vision for a stunning Mural that will encompass the St Vinnies Op Shop building, corner of Honiana Te Puni & Aro Streets. Please click through the PledgeMe link (below) to see the Video and if you wish to donate via another method, please get in touch. There's also a raffle that every donor goes into, a signed Rei Hamon print pictured below. Donated by David White, framed by Ron Barber. Our sponsors for materials: Resene and Bunnings.

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, 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!
