How cozy was your winter?

Brett Trilford from Trilford Plumbing & Gas Ltd

Gas fireplaces are a great way to heat your home. Not only are they efficient at heating, they're also nice to look at. Gas fireplaces come in array of different styles and can be installed almost anywhere in your home. With the push of a button you can be heating your home, fast! Most gas fireplaces also now come with the ability to be controlled from your phone via an app - which means, if you're out and about and you want a warm house to come home to, just turn the fireplace on via the app - how cool is that?!

(The gas fireplace featured in this picture is a Rinnai Neo Inbuilt which we installed to replace an old 1970's inbuilt wood burner).

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!
