Coffee bag tops (wire)
Do you buy coffee in bags with refoldable tops?
The bendy wire in the refoldable top is ideal for nose wires, for sewing into reuseable face masks.
When your next bag runs out, it would be great if you could get the top foldable strip to me (just tear or cut it off the top of the bag).
Feel free to leave in my letterbox in Picton Ave (PM me for the address), or leave at reception for me at the University of Otago School of Medicine, 23a Mein St, Newtown.
Many thanks!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
