Paul Evans, chief executive of waste management industry body WasteMinz, says in 2018 about 10 per cent of each Auckland household's recycling bin was "contamination" – items that people had put in hoping for the best, but which could not be recycled.

All it takes is a kind gesture to change someone’s day. From paying it forward in line at a cafe to giving flowers to a friend ‘just because’ - this month we’re encouraging our members and supporters to make New Zealand a better place one random act of kindness at a time.

The options for doing so are endless! Being kind doesn’t have to cost a thing, after all a smile is free. For those who want to go the extra mile, here’s some other ideas: Buy extra kai at the grocery store to donate to a food pantry, help someone with a broken down car or flat tire, bring treats into work for colleagues, send an encouraging text to someone who needs it, let a car into the traffic ahead of you, take a gift over to new neighbours and introduce yourself, write positive messages in chalk on sidewalks around your neighbourhood, or surprise loved ones with a visit.

This month also coincides with World Humanitarian Day on August 19th and Random Acts of Kindness Day (New Zealand) which is on September 1st.

Let us know how you’re spreading kindness in your community by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:

Thin kitty - been in a bad cat fight

Leia from Hornby

Hello neighbours, just wondering if anyone recognises this cat. I'm sorry the photos are so bad, I was having to use a torch in one hand and my phone in the other.

I'm sorry the photos are so bad, I was having to use a torch in one hand and my phone in the other. I also know you're not supposed to feed random cats but it looked so thin that I had a moment of weakness so I'm sorry for that too! Kitty was also quite dirty, there was fur ALL over the street this morning (I'm on Dunluce Place) and when I patted this cat this evening I could feel all the scratches on it's skin so I'm assuming that the fur belongs to this kitty. Fur was also very thin over its whole back (you can see a patch by it's shoulders in the photos). It's a gingery tabby with white front and back legs, a white face and black nose and has curly hair on the back of it's back legs with a very fluffy tail. PLEASE if this is your cat or you recognise it can you let me know because I'm really worried about him/her!
