Harvestsafe Aotearoa! ๐ ๐ฅ๐ฟ๐พ calling al Community Gardens
๐ฅฌ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ซ Calling all community gardens and mฤra kai! Here is a project that we think you'll be interested in - introducing Harvestsafe Aotearoa! ๐ ๐ฅ๐ฟ๐พ
Harvestsafe is a limited-term research project on community garden and mฤra kai soil in Aotearoa New Zealand. Mฤra/gardens can join the research as community-scientists, and learn more about the environmental quality of their soil while helping us learn about soil around Aotearoa! We'll ask you to fill in a 15-minute questionnaire and send a bag of soil from your garden to the University of Auckland. We will send you a report on metal contaminants and be in conversation with you about what next.
They are now receiving new garden/mฤra recruits until the end of December 2024, so share widely and get in touch with our researcher Moss at bcao914@aucklanduni.ac.nz asap if you'd like to participate!
See the poster to learn more about Harvestsafe Aotearoa, and check out our website at soilsafe.auckland.ac.nz... to learn more about our wider programm
Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? ๐ฐ๏ธ
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
33.7% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
65.2% No, I enjoy it
-
1.1% Other - I'll share below
