Tommy’s Real Estate has always been big on supporting the local communities who have supported us. Now we are doing something for the environment!

It is estimated New Zealanders use around 1.6 billion single-use plastic bags every year. By 2050 there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean! Tommy’s is giving away 35,000 heavy duty reusable shopping bags over the next several weeks in an effort to help free our beautiful Wellington city from plastic shopping bags.

You can collect yours from any Tommy’s open home or Tommy’s office!

- New World Chaffers on Saturday (12pm – 2pm) and Sunday (10am – 12pm)
- Harbourside Sunday Market (10am – 12pm)

Hadley from Kelburn

They don't make it easy (I am trying to get them to create an online form like Auckland has) but registering not only protects your health but sends a message to the council that we don't want cancer causing poison sprayed in our community! Please share this and ask your neighbor to sign up too :) SPREAD THE WORD! Call the WCC on 044994444. It is a pain in the neck for them to add your name to the list and they need to make it easier to do so we can have SPRAY FREE STREETS in Wellington. The goal here is that the council goes back to using steam for weed control which is safe and effective.
