THE WELLINGTON PROTESTORS, A COMMENT.

Robert from Bryndwr

Things start to get interesting when a couple of protestors reportedly claimed to the media that there was NO epidemic.
They apparently claimed it was a Government plot for social control. Maybe the person was intentionally indulging in some tongue-in-cheek hyperbole. Possibly too, it could be … View more
Things start to get interesting when a couple of protestors reportedly claimed to the media that there was NO epidemic.
They apparently claimed it was a Government plot for social control. Maybe the person was intentionally indulging in some tongue-in-cheek hyperbole. Possibly too, it could be that a serious therapeutic reality check for that protestor and along with some ongoing calming medication would be helpful....

THE OPPOSITE VIEW>>>

Robert from Bryndwr

Taking the most perverse view on vaccination, on the views held by the freedom protestors, doesn't necessarily make them seemingly fashionable, correct or right.

Christchurch's leafy status under threat, urgent action needed to protect city's tree canopy

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

From reporter Tina Law:
--------------
New figures, released on Thursday by the Christchurch City Council, show 13.5 per cent of the city is covered by tree canopy, some 2 percentage points lower than in 2015-16, when it was 15.6 per cent.

From reporter Tina Law:
--------------
New figures, released on Thursday by the Christchurch City Council, show 13.5 per cent of the city is covered by tree canopy, some 2 percentage points lower than in 2015-16, when it was 15.6 per cent.

However, the figures are based on data collected in 2018-19 and city councillor Yani Johanson suspects the actual tree loss now would be much greater, possibly double, given the number of trees that have been cut down to make way for housing intensification.

Auckland had a canopy coverage of 18.4 per cent between 2016 and 2018 and in Wellington the tree canopy covered about 30.6 per cent in 2019.

The lack of trees is most stark in some of Christchurch’s lowest socio-economic areas like Hornby and Linwood, sitting at 6.5 per cent and 8.9 per cent respectively. Banks Peninsula has not been included in the study.

Some of the city’s more affluent suburbs have the highest tree cover with Cashmere sitting at 21 per cent and Fendalton at 19 per cent. The Coastal ward, which stretches from Southshore to Brooklands, has 27 per cent coverage, but that includes Bottle Lake Forest. Continue reading here.
