Poll: Do you have mould in your home?
Hey neighbours,
Are you among the many people in NZ battling mould in their homes? Did you tick yes to the census question about having a patch of mould bigger than an A4 piece of paper? If so, we'd love to talk to you.
We're working on an article for Homed to find out when you need to worry about mould and the best ways to tackle it. If you'd like to be involved, let us know the scale of the mould you're dealing with in the comments below, or email us at homed@stuff.co.nz and we'll be in touch.
And thanks! We're looking forward to hearing from you :)

Some Choice News!
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!
