A slightly different Christmas song

Oliver Neighbourly Lead from One Tree Point

We better watch out
We better not fly
We better not doubt
The scientists' cry
Climate change is coming to town

They have made a list
Checked it more than twice
And what's on that list
Is not really nice
Climate change is coming to town

It looks like we've been sleeping
And haven't been awake
It looks like we've been pretty bad
So let's change for goodness sake!

We better not bitch
We better not moan
We better not whinge
Or grumble or groan
Climate change is flooding the town

The Arctic is in meltdown
And Santa lost his base
He's now a climate refugee
And looking for a space

We better not put
Our heads in the sand
The matter has gotten
Well out of hand
Climate change is wearing us down

We love to drive our guzzlers
Don't care about EVs
And all our money paid for gas
Is going overseas

We better retreat
We better adapt
We better make sure
Emissions are capped
Climate change is bucketing down

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

This Wednesday, we are having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.

John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!

As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!

John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
