Politics and the environment - your chance to find out what is happening.
Being an election year, there has never been a better time to find out what each political party is planning to do for the environment.
As a member of, and in partnership with our friends in the Environmental Hubs Aotearoa network, we are asking you - our communities - what you care about and what you want to know about in the environmental policy space.
Maybe you would like to know what each party is planning to do to further reduce plastic use, promote active transport, or clean up our waterways? Whatever it is, we want to hear about it.
Let us know by hitting the link below.
Submissions close at 5.30 pm on Tuesday, 4 August.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
