Two Christchurch City councillors are pushing for the city to consider a separate glass recycling system to bring it up to speed with the rest of the country.

Phil Mauger and Aaron Keown have submitted a notice of motion for of next week’s council meeting, asking staff to complete their kerbside waste collection review so separating glass could be considered as part of the 2022-23 annual plan.

Mauger said it was important for “glass out” to be included, so ratepayers could have a say on what happens to their glass.

“Most people in Christchurch believe if they place a glass bottle in their yellow bin, then it will be recycled into a bottle again. But that isn’t the case.

A national petition launched recently asks our Government to ensure cultural equality in the naming of our country, its regions and local places. It also asks for English and te rē Moriori to be recognised as official languages. Only te reo Māori and sign language have official status now.

The petition offers fair-minded Kiwis a say in the current debate over New Zealand's name. Your voice is not being heard enough. Te Pāti Māori and NZ First petitions on the same issue offer only ethnically divisive options.

If you care about cultural equality and inclusion, for lasting social harmony in our country, please sign this petition. And please recommend it to your friends and family.
