Are you ready to completely ditch plastic bags? - Reply

Matt from Henderson

I know many have commented about the plastic bag issue, but just wanted add on to this. Plastic bags have to go. They do clog up the rivers, oceans and seas. I like what all or hopefully what most of the supermarkets are doing are having most of the recyclable bags where you buy them from the supermarkets and then you can bring them back from your home to reuse them to do your groceries,etc.

If many supermarkets and retail stores are going to get rid of the plastic bags entirely which will awesome to do, then why couldn't they do the same for dairies and for bakeries as well? Follow suit.

We need to be a cleaner, greener, NZ country. We can do this New Zealand. Let our country be clean and green again and be the fighting machine that drives NZ to be a happier place for all people to live in.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
.
