Love shopping but hate waste? If you're curious how to keep your shopping habit sustainable (on the environment and your wallet too), the Refuse the Refuse Market could be a good place to start.

From skincare to underwear, the market will showcase local businesses who are committed to reducing waste and being kind to the earth. The eco-friendly lineup includes vegan treats by In Bloom, organic cotton underwear by Thunderpants, up-cycled jewellery by Three March Hares, skincare by Smooch Natural Products, Fairtrade clothing by Little Yellow Bird, period products by Wa Collective, plus loads more.

Do your bit this Plastic-Free July by stocking up on ethical goodies for yourself or for your pals, and support some clean, green businesses at the same time.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?
