As we celebrate Global Recycling Day 2026 (18 March), let's contemplate these seven recycling questions we need to ask ourselves:
Am I recycling all used items properly?
Do I know and follow my local recycling rules?
Do I know where my recyclables go after collection?
Do I repair, reuse, and extend item lifespans?
Am I reducing the amount of waste I produce?
Do I buy from brands that support recycling?
Am I aware of and supporting better recycling laws?
If you're not sure, join me for this in Whangārei on Tuesday, 31 March - https://www.eventfinda.co.nz/2026/recycling-day-info-session/whangarei
Green Drinks will be hosted by Whakaora Kai Food Rescue Northland and Whare Āwhina Social Supermarket TONIGHT.
Whakaora Kai partner with local businesses that have surplus food or food that may go to waste and match it to the more than 120 organisations who receive kai and share it with communities.
In 2025 Whakaora Kai distributed 264,000kg of food, which saved our community $1,800,000 and prevented 638,000kg of CO2 emissions.
You will also get to see the Whare Āwhina Social Supermarket and learn how it works in partnership with Whakaora Kai to provide kai support with dignity.
Come along on Tues 17th March @ 6pm – 7.30pm at 1 Woods Road, Whangārei
(look for the Kereru on the side of the building)
Snacks and refreshments courtesy of Whakaora Kai.
Wear warm clothing – it can get cold in the warehouse in the evening.
We look forward to seeing you there.
