Hi,
I saw this today and thought I'd share some good news about how well Northland is doing as reported by @ASBMarkets' regional economic scoreboard. 1st place.. Woo Hoo! Yay for us :)
June is Bowel Cancer Awareness Month. This year we’re raising awareness that bowel cancer can strike at any age.

The incidence of bowel cancer in younger adults is rising in New Zealand. 10% of bowel cancer patients are under 50 – that’s more than 300 a year. Each year about 3,000 New Zealanders are diagnosed with the disease and more than 1,200 will die. That’s as many as breast and prostate cancer combined.

I deliver an environmental education programme called Know Waste in Whangarei promoting the recycling of electronics and reducing waste sent to landfill. As part of the lesson students get to dismantle a desktop computer but I am having trouble finding enough computers to keep up with demand. If you generous people of Whangarei have any old desktop computers to donate please contact me at anton@cbec.co.nz or on 021 058 3126. They may also be dropped at 141 Lower Cameron street but please call on 09 4388 710 first. No dumping outside.
(UPDATE I can only take the computer tower/box part not the monitor/screen as they are potentially dangerous to dismantle)
Please everyone out there recycle your electronics including cellphones, don't put them in the rubbish! They contain not only valuable rare metals like gold, silver, platinum and Rare Earth Elements but also toxic heavy metals like Lead, Cadmium and Mercury. They can be recycled at the Re:sort on Kioreroa road.
Some scientists are predicting that in the future we will need to mine our landfills for these rare metals as supplies will become scarce if we keep dumping them.
Especially remember that the old boxy CRT TV screens contain a lot of LEAD which is a highly toxic heavy metal. These should not end up the landfill nor dumped in a drain or creek as they can contaminate the land and water terribly and permanently. I know it costs a lot to recycle them but that is because there are only a few facilities in the world that can recycle them (Sweden Japan, USA) and they are toxic, difficult to recycle and are bulky to freight overseas.
Overseas in some countries when electronics are purchased a small compulsory recycling fee is included in the cost which allows easy free drop off at its end of life. That is what we would advocate here in NZ rather than a pay when its dead system which discourages recycling from those who can't/won't pay.
Thanks for reading, hope you can help :-)
