How about getting creative this Easter?
Whether you're a dab hand at DIY or a recycling rookie, why not make good use of the Easter break and show your neighbours your upcycling talents in the 2019 Resene Upcycling Awards!
Upcycling is all about taking a preloved item and transforming it - whether it's turning old skateboards into a coffee table, pallets into a home entertainment unit or repurposing an old baby cot into a desk for your little learners.
Unleash your creativity on your neighbourhood by sharing your creation in this year's Resene Upcycling Awards. Make sure you tell us about any Resene paints, colours and stains you've used - and don't forget your before and after photos. You could win one of four prizes worth $500!

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?
-
32.5% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
67.5% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)

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!

How much does it cost to join AEA?
There are no dues or fees for joining AEA or attending AEA meetings. We are self-supporting through our own voluntary contributions. At some point during each meeting we pass the basket to help cover expenses, such as the cost of rent and literature. Members are not obliged to contribute, but we usually do so to the extent we are able.
