A huge congratulations to Wayne and Kate from Engraving Systems. These local legends are a finalist in the Prospa Local Business Hero Awards.

Now they need your vote to give them a chance to take home a prize package worth $10,000!

Good on you, and good luck, Wayne and Kate. Thanks for bringing joy to your community.

***********

Nominated by Jake De Geest from Whangarei: "My nomination is for Engraving Systems in Whangarei. Wayne and Kate (the owners) have been trying to support all the locals' sports clubs and businesses with great service and going that extra mile to honestly help. Wayne is also an extroverted performer and has given his time to clubs and organisations in Whangarei free of charge to play music and MC events so they can get some money back into their coffers and stay afloat in a most difficult year. He really has brought some life back into the community and although he will disagree with me he should be acknowledged and rewarded for all the hard work he does."

Idle threats

Oliver Neighbourly Lead from One Tree Point

I have written about unnecessary engine idling before here on Neighbourly, and received backlash and surprising excuses why idling is what you do.

Just today I witnessed another instance of this at my local coffee caravan, when an insanely obese car pulled up, and the driver got out, leaving the keys in the ignition and the car's engine running for about 10 minutes while getting his coffee and treat.
I still can't wrap my head around why we would be doing this, and who taught us that this is ok. Fortunately I have EECA's Gen Less on my side, who published this article on their website today. Maybe it'll resonate better with people when it's coming from them? I sure hope so. Heck, even the Australians get it... ;-)

Say NO to short car trips

EECA

Transport is our beautiful country's biggest carbon emitter. In fact, car trips under two kilometres, like popping to the shops, make up nearly 1/3 of our drives — an average of 12 per household per week.

Transport is our beautiful country's biggest carbon emitter. In fact, car trips under two kilometres, like popping to the shops, make up nearly 1/3 of our drives — an average of 12 per household per week.

So we're encouraging Kiwis to consider climate-friendly modes of transport such as biking, scooting and walking when making trips under two kilometres.

That's why we've launched the ShopPack - a New Zealand-first backpack-style reusable shopping bag to let you keep your hands free on the move.
