World Oceans Day Kiwi Clean Up
WORLD OCEANS DAY KIWI CLEANUP
SATURDAY JUNE 9
10.00AM
Join Pick It Up Now to pick up rubbish along the beach and grass areas from Kuranui Bay Thames, north.
Bags will be supplied by North Island Mussels Ltd and TCDC and Coastal Bins are supplying a refuse truck or skip.
Take photos along the way and share them on our FB page!!
Pick It Up Now is a sustainability project in The Coromandel about influencing a culture change to get people to pick up rubbish rather than walk past it…however #pickitupnow stands for so much more – ways to reduce plastic usage and reducing rubbish.
The concept is in it’s infancy, however we hope to help grow it into something more significant.
We have got some key players in the tourism industry involved and keen, and are in the process of getting other businesses and more key players in the tourism industry on board as well.
For more information, go to our Facebook page and like it so you can follow us.

See you all on the 9th June, 10.00am :)
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?

What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
