  1. Mōrena Mariko!

    Thanks for joining us as we look at matters of the environment both here in New Zealand and across the rest of the world.

    I appreciate your 'Top 3' facts about New Zealand:
    Fact #1. This is a great one! I often have friends from other countries asking me about the kiwi fruit and how it got its name. Did you know that the kiwi fruit is actually from China? If this is the case, then why do you think that we've given it the name, 'kiwi fruit'?
    Fact #2. I often forget that we even have a Queen... do you know who our Governor General is?
    Fact #3. I'm blown away by this fact, because I would have thought that number to be much bigger! Do you think 'forest' includes our pine forests?

    Well done for getting started Mariko! I look forward to reading more of your posts :)

    Cheers
