Plastic Bags still required for Bedrolls for Homeless
Hello neighbours. I want to say a very big 'Thank you' to all of you who have been dropping your old plastic bags off to me, so our members of Aranui Handiscope can turn them into bed rolls for the homeless. Next week we are doing a hand over to the 'City Mission' and Salvation Army, so they can give the bed rolls to those who really need them. It has been a long time, due to the long process in making them, but we are delighted to be handing some over. We still want any of your plastic bags, so if you have any - can you please drop off to me at 68 shortland st or to St Ambrose Church 309 Breezes Road. Tues - Friday. We deeply appreciate your support and it has been wonderful to see many people calling into our group on a Tuesday to see how a bedroll is made from the bags - many people have left in amazement and keen to do more. If you can crochet and would like to learn how to make a bed roll, please touch base with us as we want many more people to help us out . If you have any questions you are able to touch base with me. We are wanting any old wool too, as some of our members are going to make small baby blankets for those in need . So we have two lots going to support those in our community. Have a lovely week and thank you so much for your continued support. Regards Julie 3884 184 or 027 4518796

He/She who makes it, sells it.
He/She who buys it, doesn't use it.
The user doesn't know they are using it.
What is it?

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
37.6% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
62.4% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
