The downside of having your home featured on TV

Jo Haywood Reporter from Homed

In the past year, four Grand Designs NZ homes have come onto the market, but not all of them have sold. Now one owner has spoken out about how … View more

STOP water bottling plant from taking 4.32 million litres per day, of aquifer water.

Cloud Ocean Water is a water-bottling business preparing to operate within the former Kaputone Wool Scour located in Belfast, Christchurch.

Using a 20-year-old permit originally granted to the land's former owner, Kaputone, the Chinese-owned enterprise could remove up to 4.32 million litres per day, or 1.5 billion litres per annum, of ground water, for bottling.

Under the historic permit, it is able to obtain these massive quantities of water, for next to no cost.
Aquifer water is a precious resource. In the Canterbury area, bore holes drilled at a depth of around 30 metres, is the only way to obtain a continuous ground water supply. Once depleted, these precious water supplies, cannot be replenished.

Wasp wipeout - can you help?

Last summer we embarked on an ambitious project to make a dent in the wasp population in the Nelson region. We fundraised and were able to lay 390km of bait lines in some of the region's most popular recreational areas, effectively making 10,000 hectares wasp free.

This summer we are delighted to announce we are expanding the programme to other parts of the country which are also affected by high wasp numbers. Vespex is laid in bait stations in late January and February when wasps change to a protein-based diet. It is of low toxicity and safe for bees. Results from last summer showed it has a 95%-99% success rate.

While a small amount of work is Government funded, we're going to raise more funds to get as many areas baited as possible, and we need your help. Go to our Popshop page to contribute to a wasp-free region

So join us in the battle. The more we raise the more areas we can cover.
