Repurposing Chip and Foil Packets - doing your part to help the planet!!

Terrena from St Heliers

Summer eating....Chips and Crackers Yum. Biscuits! Yum Yum. Most of these come in foil packets. Did you know that it takes about 2mins to eat a packet of chips and then 80 years for one foil packet to decompose in landfill - shocking!
We are making something out of nothing. Fusing foil to make survival blankets (think thermal blankets) for those needing warmth this winter. Rethinking your rubbish - instead of putting your foil in the bin you give those packets to your local St Heliers Fusion Group. We are the Chip Packet Project St Heliers Fusion Group. Contactless collection bin in the back of St Philips Anglican Church at 92 St Heliers Street. Check out facebook @chippacketprojectnz #foilfusionfriday

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
