Flat pack living

Cindy from Red Beach

Thank you for your article on Flat pack living. Not everyone wants to live in a flash home, like the government scheme is trying to do. We just need affordable housing. Honestly, I also thought that was what the government wanted, affordable housing so I wrote to the Minister of Housing with my idea of kit set homes, with no success. We need to petition this to get it off the ground. I am all for it, and yes the answer to your question, is I would live in one!

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
