EcoFest West kicks off

EcoMatters

Dear neighbours, did you know that EcoFest West kicks off on Saturday 20 March? There are more than 140 events celebrating our environment in West Auckland next month, and many of them are free or low-cost and whānau friendly.

Are there any eco skills you’d like to pick up? You could learn about foraging, bike maintenance, upcycling or more, or just enjoy nature with a guided walk or bike ride.

Visit www.ecofest.org.nz for more details. Thanks to the Henderson-Massey, Waitākere Ranges and Whau local boards for supporting the festival.

See you there!

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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
