Te Puna Quarry Park - Sunday 15 March 2020 - Sustainability Day
On 15 March, the Quarry Park will give some extra attention to sustainability / natural features such as butterflies, bees, herb gardening, predator control. There will be sustainable items for sale such as preserves, honey, lotions & potions, re-usable bags, some plants. We’ll do kids craft, rock painting and rock finding. There will be a cart on site with coffee (in sustainable cups), some food & icecream. Why not combine a stroll or climb through quarry park with a visit to the stalls? Fun for young & old.
Quarry’s Sustainability Day runs this Sunday, 15 March from 10am to 4pm, but Quarry Park is open from dusk to dawn. This day is part of ‘Sustainable Backyards’, which is a collection of 230 events organized by EnviroHub throughout BOP.
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)
.
