Why do you think it is important to celebrate National Tree Day?
Michele Clifton, Lachland Laundry Service: It is necessary to keep people aware of the environment and how important it is to look after the environment for future generations.
Kim Herbert, Forbes TV & Video Repairs: We need to make up for all the trees getting chopped down, and we need oxygen to help stop the greenhouse effect.

I spend pretty much all my time with my partner, Sarelle, and her two kids, and my four-year-old St Bernard “puppy”.

What makes your day? When the kids say something funny or a day skiing and camping with my family and friends, or getting excellent customer service – it’s the little things that have the biggest impact!
If you could go anywhere in the world on holiday where would it be? Right now life is very busy, so I’d love a quiet villa in Bali to kick back and relax with the family for a while.
What would you do if you won $8.8 million?
Fay Green, Forbes North Public School: I would pay off all my debt, set my children up and move to Cooktown in Queesland. We have just bought a property there for the fishing lifestyle. We’d be able to fish for the rest of our lives!
Janelle Jackson, KMWL: I’d retire, share some money with my family and friends and go on holiday to Canada to see my family living there.
Lorraine Allen, Taxi Driver: The first thing I’d do is to help two of my children who have mortgages to pay it off, and I’d buy a house for my third child who does not own a home at the moment. I wouldn’t have to work again – I’ve been working since I was 16. I have a caravan and I would tour all around Australia. It is the best country in the world!

What do you think of the Pokémon Go craze?
April Lewis, Spotlight: I think it’s good for getting people with anxiety and depression out of the house. It is bad as people get ignorant and don’t look when crossing roads. I play it with my friends but am always aware of my surroundings. I think there are better games out there.
Sabrina Calvani, Aglio E Olio: I don’t know much about it, but what I hear I don’t like as adults are crossing roads without looking. What are we teaching kids?
John Hick, Bunnings: I love it. I play it with my kids. We walked at least 20km over the weekend. I grew up with Pokémon and wished this game had come out when I was a kid.
