Masks - what works well and what doesn't
Study: some cotton cloth masks are about as effective as standard surgical masks, but alternatives such as neck warmers made of thin, stretchy material may be a bad idea.

I am making 100% cotton reusable masks with two layers of fabric for just $10 each. Shaped masks in men's, women's, children's sizes (not recommended for children under 3 years old) or pleated surgical style masks in one size. If you would like to order some or find out more, please message me for further information.
For those of you who can sew and want to make your own masks, please see my earlier post on mask patterns - there are a lot of free patterns available that you can download, and lots of tutorials if you need help.
Stay safe and well - wear a mask, keep 2m distance, avoid touching your face, and wash your hands frequently!

Kaitiakitanga (Guardianship and Stewardship) - Day 17
Tāne’s Gift of the Forest
Tāne planted the great forests and entrusted their care to humankind, warnihonoringto take only what was needed and to replenish what was used.
He sent the birds to teach people balance, showing them how each creature contributed to the wellbeing of the environment.
When people acted as kaitiaki (guardians), the land thrived; when they were careless, the land suffered.
Moral: Guardianship of the land ensures that future generations can thrive, honoring the gifts of nature.
