Wanted - SMALL My Food Bag & KFC containers
Hi, I help manage Predator Free in Broadmeadows and we are looking for loads of small plastic containers (with lids) you may have gathering dust and taking up space. The My Food Bag or KFC ones are ideal (3-5cm). We have no use for larger ones. They will be used to supply peanut butter to our trappers.
Many thanks to those who supplied the first collection, they have all been used :)
Please drop them off at the
J'vill Community Hub at 31 Johnsonville Road (opposite the Mall entrance - see the photo).
Open Monday - Friday 9:30am - 3pm
Message me if you canโt drop them off.
I am also on the lookout for the woollen insulation things that come with My Food Bag for a planting project at Baring Head. Please message me to collect these.
Thanks, Owen
PS Thanks for the first lot of woollen insulation, it has already been used to help establish newly planted trees at Baring Head
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? ๐ป๐จ๐
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?
-
37.1% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
62.9% 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, weโre 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 โ and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
