roll out chat at the library
Well I went along to the roll out chat for the food waste, it was a case of Blah Blah the green bins will be provided between now and sometime in July how about a refund !! all my waste gets composted in the garden, no refund you will get a bin. Fair enough on the lady she was not from the council it was just a Job. Only food waste can be put in the bin but my rabbit eats Grass so therefore it is a food waste, how about the left over grass from your spilolina! or your now dead basil plant! cannot be put in the bin.
Can anyone say if the apartment blocks in Takapuna each resident get a bin ?
Okay you say this will save so much waste going to landfill while our food scraps will be transported to Reparoa 276 Kms away.
The council still have not worked out away to dispose of Restaurant waste that still goes to landfill and all those disposable coffee cups they still go to landfill!!
Worst Xmas ever?
There's a a lot of planning that goes into Christmas day and sometimes things just don't go to plan. But it can be a good thing - a family mishap or hilarious memory that you can laugh about in Christmases to come.
Whether you burnt the dinner or were stranded at an airport...

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
