CLIMATE CHANGE FOR HUMANITY
We take this opportunity to acknowledge and to thank all our amazing contributors to Ecofest North 2020. Our original festival programme was interrupted by CO-VID 19 lockdown, however, we felt a deep responsibility to continue to share important life-changing actions and information during this time of isolation. The opportunity of turning Ecofest North into a Backyard Actions was facilitated by offering to share links from presenters who had videos/audio available thus allowing Ecofest North to support in this time of great change and growth, moving us all gently in the direction of living more lightly on our Earth!

Today's featured events:
🍃Reversing Climate Change - Be the Change, Learn How
🍃Northern Pathway: Westhaven to Akoranga Survey
🍃Zero Waste Daily kōrero via Facebook Livestream
🍃Big backyard clean-up

🌏 Much gratitude to our sponsors @Aucklandcouncil @Livelightly Auckland Foundation @Kaipatikilocalboard for everything you have done for us in the past, everything you still do and will continue to do, we at Kaipātiki Project just want you to know how thankful we are, and we look forward to a prosperous future together!

This festival with all intentions was about allowing people to interact directly in our neighbourhoods, communities and environment. We hope that you have felt inspired by what we have been able to share in some way that will bring about a healthy change for our wellbeing and the Earth. We are seeing the quick results of nature returning, when humans make way for nature to thrive, all the beauty of natural world surrounds us with a refreshing view of how life can be if we adopted a more respectful and collaborative way of living and thriving together. We thank you for your interest, participation in Ecofest North 2020, and we look forward to bringing another amazing festival to you in 2021.

But we are not saying goodbye
As Ecofest North 2020 ends, stay tuned to this page, as we will continue with Backyard Actions to keep you inspired and informed with new simple ways to assist with changes that you can make at home and in your local neighbourhood. Live Lightly and Love our Earth!

Hi there!
I have two furnished rooms for rent in my house with a feel of living in a mini-resort.
They are both available from anytime soon when we are out of our bobbles.
The house is situated right between two beaches - a 2 minute walk to Rothesay Bay beach and a 5 minute walk to Browns Bay beach and town with heaps of shops, cafes, restaurants etc.

One room is down the end of the house sharing a lounge, bathroom and toilet with another guy living in this end of the house as well.

The cost per week is $290 for one person +$60 for power, water and internet. An extra person per week is $80.

The other room is a private large furnished en-suite with a queen bed and single bed and a small lounge. It has a private bathroom, toilet, Netflix, fridge and two private balconies. It is available for a few months if needed.

The en-suite is $390 per week for one person +$60 for power, water and internet. Extra person per week is $100.

The house is large and has another living, lounge, dining and kitchen areas to share plus many decks and a great outside area with swimming pool, BBQ and table tennis.

The house is set up as a holiday house, which is why I'm a bit careful with long term renting. However, we can discuss further if you have more long term in mind.

At the moment I have another two nice mature guys staying in the house as well.

The house is big, so there is still heaps of space for privacy.

If you wish to see one of the rooms, please call or text me to organise a time to visit.

Looking forward to hearing from you 🙂

At Vein & Laser, we believe it's important to keep your legs healthy all year round.

Here are some tips we've put together below:

1. Keep your weight down
Obesity is linked with osteoarthritis (loss of cartilage in the joints), which commonly affects knees and hips. Carrying too much weight can also lead to varicose veins. Varicose veins are not life-threatening but they look unsightly and can be painful.

2. Walk
Exercise is very important for the health of your legs. Walking is an excellent way to tone the muscles in the leg, reduce body fat and improve circulation. Aim to walk 30-45 minutes daily, this can be done in bursts through the day.

3. Put your feet up
Standing or even sitting all day can lead to swollen legs and ankles.
Being inactive causes circulation problems. Normally when you walk, the blood is pumped back towards your heart and swelling is reduced. Putting your feet up for just ten minutes a day can help.

4. Check for changes in moles
The leg is a common area of the body in which malignant melanomas can develop. Be vigilant and check regularly for any changes in colour, size or shape of moles.
A yearly mole check with your GP is recommended.

5. Eat a healthy low-fat diet
Sometimes described as your 'second heart', your leg veins help pump blood back up to the heart. Nutritionally, the same rules apply for healthy leg vein circulation as for a healthy heart. Cut back on saturated fat and sugar, make sure you have enough fibre in your diet to maintain normal bowel motions.

Commencing from 28 April:
Call 09 410 0990 for online consultation and advice on available services in Coronavirus lockdown level 3.

They block up the pipes, which then need fixing immediately. When workers have to leave home to fix blocked pipes, they’re at risk of COVID-19. That puts everyone else in their bubble at risk as well.
