Sally from Karaka Bays

Hi.
I need to cover some grass seed to germinate and was wondering if anyone knows of a place to get cheap/ used bubble wrap from. Seems wrong to buy and throw away for such a short time.
Thanks Sally

"When you are photographing in Karori, there are some unique occupational hazards! New phone and I'm shooting a time-lapse of Tui in flight. I look out the window, and my new phone is being investigated, tugged and being put through the ruggedness test by this young Kaka!
Kaka are so intelligent, and much more gentle than their South Island cousins, the Kea. It's always more investigation than sheer vandalism and mischief! It's such a joy and privilege to have them around."

First of all, a big thank you for your support to remove e-scooters off footpaths. It’s been great – but, we have more to do…
We are coming back to you all again for additional support about the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) | Waka Kotahi’s engagement and whether E-Scooters should be considered a motor vehicle or not. We need you to support our joint petition to remove E-Scooters off footpaths as follows…
Disabled Persons Assembly (DPA), Blind Citizens NZ, and Living Streets Aotearoa are collaborating - we’re calling on NZTA | Waka Kotahi to not renew the declaration that says E-Scooters are not motor vehicles. We believe E-Scooters are motor vehicles – they travel at speed, they injure people and we need to get these dangerous vehicles off our footpaths.

Signing the petition will demonstrate your support and help create safer streets for everyone! It will keep footpaths for pedestrians which includes mobility device users (i.e. wheel chair and mobility scooter users).

Our call to action urges you to support our efforts and to please sign our petition by taking the following link

our.actionstation.org.nz...



Please share this opportunity as widely as possible including encouraging family-whānau to support our efforts.
