So off we went with a trash bag and what was meant to be a 20 mins walk turned into almost 2 hours. The next morning the roundabout was littered again and she was FURIOUS. Guess we'll be doing this every weekend. But she makes me such a proud mama, so I'm more than happy to help.
To quote some of the things she said before and during our walk,
" I do not like seeing the rubbish in the street. It makes me so mad!!"
"No one else seems to care and just drives past it. Why are people littering and why is no one else picking up the trash?"
"If everyone picks up one bag, New Zealand will soon be much cleaner."
"Papers and plastic and cans are ugly. We are hurting the earth and we only have one earth."
We are now also planning on sorting the roundabout's overgrown bushes in springtime if anyone else is keen to come help. Will post a notice on this closer to the date.

I’m on Wilson Street and on Saturday 17th My younger sister had our mums chairs out at the end of the driveway. She had left them out there overnight and we are thinking someone has picked them up on the sunday thinking they were for free.
If you picked these up my mum would love them back as these were our Grandmas who has passed. We are very sorry if you thought we were getting rid of them.
Please send a message if this was you ❤️
Thanks,
Hannah

Eid al-Adha, also known as the "Feast of the Sacrifice" is the second and the largest of the two main holidays celebrated in Islam (the other being Eid al-Fitr). It honours the willingness of Abraham (Ibrahim) to sacrifice his son Ishmael. Islam shares this tradition with Judaism, and honours Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son Isaac (in the Jewish tradition) or Ishmael (in the Islamic tradition; Qur’an: Surah As-Saaffat 37:102). This story is well-known in the Hebrew Bible (Genesis 22) and is referred to as the Akedah. It is considered by both Jews and Muslims as an act of obedience to God's will. However, before Abraham could sacrifice his son, and because of his willingness to do so, God provided him with a lamb to sacrifice in his son's place.
In commemoration of this intervention, animals are ritually sacrificed in the Islamic tradition. Part of the meat is consumed by the family that offers the animal, while the rest of the meat is distributed to the poor and the needy. Sweets and gifts are exchanged, and extended family members and friends visit each other.
In the Islamic lunar calendar, Eid al-Adha falls on the tenth day of the month of Dhu al-Hijja and lasts for four days.

Please use the Rotokauri Rd entrance, opposite Kourataki Rd instead of the entrance across from the Zoo. If you use the new entrance across from the Zoo you won’t find us as we’ll be on the other side of the Park!
Bring a spade or shovel, gumboots, appropriate outdoor weather gear (e.g. hat, rain gear, sunglasses), some gardening gloves, water and a big smile. If you don’t want to dig there are other ways to help out (like bringing a food donation, or helping with setting out and serving a light lunch). A light lunch will be served (courtesy of EarthDiverse, Kaivolution, Go Eco, Waikato Interfaith Council, the Bahá’í Community, Ahmaddiyya Muslim Community, Shaheed Bhagat Singh Trust, and others). Any ready to eat food donations (e.g. bread, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, baked goods, UHT milk, tea bags, instant coffee, juice, etc.) will be much appreciated. Please bring your own plates, cutlery or mugs in order to minimise waste. 100 people would mean planting 5-10 saplings each.
This event is free, family-friendly and fun! Open to all. Mark this date in your diaries now. Come and help offset your carbon usage!
