Plastic Bags needed to help the homeless
Ok so I know these awesome ladies Rose and Tina
who do awesome things like teaching people with disabilities crafts that use recycled plastic bags. Their students love it and so do Rose and Tina.
The latest project - sleeping mats for the homeless, they are hygienic, waterproof and keep them off the cold ground through winter. Only problem ... not enough plastic bags.
If you can help them please drop your unwanted plastic bags down to St Ambrose Church, 309 Breezes Road any day but Wed. Rose and Tina will love you for it❣️
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
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)
.
