Heading along to the final night of the Christchurch Lantern Festival? Help the planet while you're at it – Christchurch is trialling compostable packaging for the food and drink available at the Lantern Festival this year – which means a lot less waste for the landfill.

If it's brown - it will break down.
Look for the ECO symbol and put it in the green bin.
All other packaging goes into the red bin.

The ECO symbol means "Event Compostable Only" – make sure you bin it at the event, and not at home.

Canterbury Park development scheduled for next month!

I may have missed it, but this sign down at the park is the first I have heard of it. Initial impression is that it is positive, anything to improve the water quality is a good thing, however it fails to address the main cause, the toxic storm water runoff into Haytons Stream.
There will be a large dry storage basin constructed, similar to those off Awatea Drive by the new Wigram sub-division. The pond will be enlarged, increasing the wetland area, though I imagine the water quality will still be to toxic for dogs etc to swim in. What do you think?
