Recycled Plastic Bags made into Bedrolls for Homeless
Morning everyone. Thank you so much for all the fantastic support in our need to get your recycled plastic bags so volunteers and members of Aranui Handiscope, can make the bedrolls for the homeless. The support has come in thick and fast and we are deeply appreciated. We need lots of recycled shopping bags so if you have any and would like to support us you can either drop them to St Ambrose Church 309 Breezes Rd ( Tues & Fri ) or 68 shortland St ( any day ). The bedrolls are soft, light to carry, hygenic and so warm are being knitted or crocheted. Thank you so much for your continued support, warm wishes Julie Williams - photos show one bedroll folded and laying out.
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)
.
