Rubbish

Bryson from Hillcrest

Found this Auckland Council notice printed on plastic on Takapuna Beach yesterday. Obviously been in the water some time, but finding it on the sand highlighted the irony of official attempts to control rubbish in public spaces. We each need to do our bit.

Don't let your parents go old-school this winter and just throw on another jersey to beat the cold.

They deserve to be truly comfortable in a warm, dry home without stressing about their power bills, or their health.

They might be eligible for Warmer Kiwi Homes, a government grant offering 80% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump.

And they may get it even cheaper than that - lots of community organisations offer extra funding to reduce the cost further.

Go to warmerkiwihomes.govt.nz to check their eligibility.
