Letters: How do we instil pride into our country?

How do we instil pride into our country, one letter write asks. Photo / File

Another sad litter letter in Tuesday's Daily Post (Letters, October 22).

Recently a letter in the Herald, signed by children, wondered why they found Singapore relatively litter-free. The reason is that Singaporeans have a pride in and respect for their country.

Not all New Zealanders have this. The problem is how to instil it when so many don't care.

We had a whole lorry-load of rubbish dumped outside our place one night recently.

Pine nuts do well

Interesting work on edible nuts (News, October 18).

Pine nuts do well in this area. I would have thought Scion might use their existing expertise there.

Would pecan nuts thrive? Bought ones are always a bit rancid.
