Metal Forks Wanted
Hi everyone,
I am looking to gather up forks for use at community events. I have been attempting to go waste-free and after a recent event found that plastic forks and "Compostable" forks were the biggest culprits left in the rubbish and compost (the compostable ones need an industrial environment to break down).
So I am looking for some help - if you have a few spare forks in your kitchen drawer please send them my way - I will come and pick up.
They will use them at all our events going forward and I will be encouraging others to use them as well.
And if you have other stuff you are giving away like knives and plates and wine glasses we will take them too and not just restrict it to forks.
Thank you in advance and we hope you can help us out.
Trish

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)
