The popular athlete, who will compete in the men’s 102+kg division, was revealed as the latest member of the NZ team who will be attending the Paris Olympics to gathered media and a packed village centre, where he thrilled the crowd with his impressive lifting skills.
David demonstrated three ‘clean and jerk’ lifts, going up to 140kg on the third. While it prompted gasps from the residents, his lift at Tokyo in comparison was 236kg and then 178kg in the ‘snatch’, which is the lift from floor to over the head.

That's why it's important to consider the furniture we use, especially in our bedrooms.
Let's talk about sustainable bedroom furniture and how it can fit into your life.
Eco-Friendly Furniture
Choosing eco-friendly furniture is more than just a trend; it's a commitment to sustainability and responsible living.
But what is Eco-Friendly Furniture?
Eco-friendly furniture, also known as sustainable furniture, is designed and manufactured with the planet in mind, minimising environmental impact while maximising style and functionality.
It’s crafted from materials and produced using processes that have minimal negative effects on the environment.
This includes utilizing renewable resources, recycled materials, and sustainable manufacturing practices.
By opting for eco-friendly furniture, you reduce your carbon footprint and support industries prioritizing environmental stewardship.
Materials Matter
So, what makes furniture eco-friendly?
One of the key elements of eco-friendly furniture is the materials used in its construction. Sustainable options often include:
Wood. Look for furniture made from sustainably sourced wood. These woods are harvested in a way that maintains the health of forests and ecosystems.
Recycled Materials. Furniture crafted from recycled materials, such as reclaimed wood or recycled plastics, gives new life to old resources, reducing the need for new materials and diverting waste from landfills.
Natural Fibers. Upholstered furniture made from natural fibers like organic cotton, hemp, or bamboo reduces the environmental impact compared to synthetic materials and minimizes exposure to harmful chemicals.
It's also important to pick furniture that's built to last. When you invest in quality pieces, you're not only reducing waste but also saving money in the long run.
Sustainable Manufacturing Practices
In addition to using eco-friendly materials, sustainable furniture manufacturers prioritize environmentally conscious production methods. This includes:
Energy Efficiency. Manufacturers invest in energy-efficient technologies and practices to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions during the production process.
Waste Reduction. Minimizing waste through efficient manufacturing processes and recycling or repurposing materials helps conserve resources and reduce landfill waste.
Fair Labor Practices. Sustainable furniture companies often prioritize fair labor practices, ensuring that workers are treated ethically and paid fair wages throughout the supply chain.
Sustainable Bedroom Meets Style
You might think that eco-friendly furniture means sacrificing style, but that's not the case anymore.
Today, sustainable bedroom furniture comes in all sorts of stylish designs.
Whether you like the classic look of wooden furniture or the modern feel of sleek designs, there's something eco-friendly for everyone's taste.
