A lot of what we're putting in our recycling bins cannot be recycled.
Paul Evans, chief executive of waste management industry body WasteMinz, says in 2018 about 10 per cent of each Auckland household's recycling bin was "contamination" – items that people had put in hoping for the best, but which could not be recycled.

The options for doing so are endless! Being kind doesn’t have to cost a thing, after all a smile is free. For those who want to go the extra mile, here’s some other ideas: Buy extra kai at the grocery store to donate to a food pantry, help someone with a broken down car or flat tire, bring treats into work for colleagues, send an encouraging text to someone who needs it, let a car into the traffic ahead of you, take a gift over to new neighbours and introduce yourself, write positive messages in chalk on sidewalks around your neighbourhood, or surprise loved ones with a visit.
This month also coincides with World Humanitarian Day on August 19th and Random Acts of Kindness Day (New Zealand) which is on September 1st.

The painting is of several red and white flowers floating on a dark blue background. It is airbrushed onto a large metal canvas.
It is extremely valuable to me, as it took weeks of work on my part, and was painted for my mother. Market value is upwards of $1000. It would be impossible for me to duplicate it.
Any information regarding it's whereabouts - or its safe return - would be immensely appreciated!
Thank you.

It was her Mother's piano, which she used to entertain groups of people in a Kaiapoi dance hall many years ago. Its is an Emil Ascherberg upright piano from Dresden, Germany. Very good condition but needs a tune up. Must be picked up (Avonhead area) by this Thursday due to new owner taking occupancy of the house.
