Stick to your bubble, not your couch!
Eaten too many bunny-shaped chocolates this weekend? Fed up of Netflix asking if your ‘still watching’? Or just looking for a creative way to keep active in your bubble? Well, we have an idea for you! Join the Red Cross virtual tour of Lake Taupo!
You can run, walk, yoga and even garden your way across the length of Lake Taupo (71km) from the comfort of your own bubble.
To join, you just need to make a minimum donation of $25. This donation helps fund the amazing work New Zealand Red Cross does. We are on the frontline of the COVID-19 response, with 190 of our volunteers working in their communities to respond to the COVID-19 crisis. Our Meals on Wheels and migration services have been deemed essential services and are continuing to operate throughout alert level four. And our Restoring Family Links service is supporting families who have lost contact with each other because of the pandemic. Our work supporting people in times of crisis or disasters is more relevant now than ever.
So, whether your rack up steps from running up and down your stairs, or simply walking to-and-from the fridge, have a little fun and join our virtual tour! - www.myvirtualmission.com...

Poll: Do you think Gisborne is doing enough to help households safely dispose of hard-to-recycle waste?
How do we Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle the hard stuff?
We’re talking tyres, paint, and agricultural chemicals — the items that aren’t always easy to dispose of.
Recently featured in The Post, this innovative business is showing how waste can be transformed into opportunity, turning what we throw away into products.
But this raises a bigger question: how do we get our waste to the right people — the ones doing the right things with it?
♻️ Do you think Councils and Government are doing enough to help households safely dispose of hard-to-recycle waste and get it back into the supply chain?
We’d love to hear your thoughts.
