Reusable Produce Bags Fundraiser
Here is your sustainable solution to plastic produce bags!!
You probably already know that supermarkets are starting to phase out plastic bags for fruit, veges & general shopping - some Countdown supermarkets have apparently already stopped supplying plastic bags in their fruit & veg sections.
So this fundraiser is a timely solution to what to do with those apples & carrots that will be rolling loose in your trolley!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
