Welcome to the July Kidz Korna. I’m writing this on a very cold morning but thinking of the wonderful country we live in.

The other day I was listening to a tui singing in the tree outside my friend’s house and it made me think, are we caring for our world.

What can we do?

One thing I have done is to have stopped buying meat, fish and fruit pre-packed in plastic. There are some easy things you can do. Turn off the tap when brushing your teeth; turn off the lights when leaving the room; mend things instead of throwing them away. All these things will help save our planet.
