New Zealanders are embracing the reusable bag ahead of a plastic bag ban, but they could be carrying something else around – bacteria.

ACT leader David Seymour says 20 people could die each year using reusable bags.

"It's coming up to summer and people will be in a hot car with their chicken in a canvas bag ... and suddenly, you've got a real serious case for poor food hygiene."

Food safety expert Steve Flint said it was a valid concern. Read more here

Energyclubnz.com - Be Warned

HOWEVER, when I needed to report a power outage late one Friday night, I discovered that they are contactable, only during business hours Mon-Fri 8am-6pm, by e-mail or online chat - which I was unable to do without any power. I rang Powerco, the local lines company, and was sympathetically told that they could not deal directly with me and the fault needed to be reported by energyclubnz (who I was unable to contact!). My problem was resolved after a neighbour reported the fault through a different energy supplier.
Energyclub have admitted to me "we are unable to give a time frame of when our faults and power outage process will be implemented including a 24/7 phone number to call in case of no hot water or power outages".
It is more important to me, living rurally, that I have a reliable power supply, and that outages can be remedied 24/7; rather than saving a small amount.
I have since transferred my electricity supply back to my original supplier, which energyclubnz did expedite smoothly.
If you are in similar circumstances, you may wish to consider other power suppliers

Poll: Should fireworks be banned?

Setting off fireworks has become an annual Kiwi backyard tradition, and it’s almost time to break out the sparklers again.

However, critics say they’re dangerous and people are injured by them every year. Fans, on the other hand, argue that all fun involves some level of risk, it just needs to be managed safely.

Last year, we saw a 23% drop in the number of fireworks-related injury claims (171 claims across 2017 versus 223 across 2016). What do you think? Should personal fireworks be banned? Click here for advice on how to use fireworks responsibly.
