Water Restrictions
Went for a lovely drive this evening. Quite happy until I drove past the Self Service Auto Wash in Nelson. People washing their cars with copious amounts of water and suds...... With a sprinkler and hose ban in effect, I am completely dismayed? As a window cleaner who has invested thousands of dollars to use a Pure Water System to make my job easier, I have ceased doing this, and got back on a ladder to conserve water. I'm now in two minds as to whether these restrictions apply to me? I would love to know what justification these guys have unless they are getting water tankers in from outside of Nelson. Please tell me this is the case? I understand Health & Safety, but this is not to clean some windows, it's the whole car.
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
36.2% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
63.8% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
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!
