Repurposing Chip and Foil Packets - doing your part to help the planet!!
Summer eating....Chips and Crackers Yum. Biscuits! Yum Yum. Most of these come in foil packets. Did you know that it takes about 2mins to eat a packet of chips and then 80 years for one foil packet to decompose in landfill - shocking!
We are making something out of nothing. Fusing foil to make survival blankets (think thermal blankets) for those needing warmth this winter. Rethinking your rubbish - instead of putting your foil in the bin you give those packets to your local St Heliers Fusion Group. We are the Chip Packet Project St Heliers Fusion Group. Contactless collection bin in the back of St Philips Anglican Church at 92 St Heliers Street. Check out facebook @chippacketprojectnz #foilfusionfriday
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.3% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.3% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.4% ... It is complicated

Cycad needs new Home!
We are about to get the outside of our house painted - and have decided this Cycad needs to go. I've started the recommended process for transplanting - trimming a portion of the fronds - but note that the best results require the move to new location to be as fast as possible. Before I start the root bulb work, is anyone local interested? I see they are listed at hundreds of $$ - but happy to discuss. It needs to go.
