Does anybody have a use for sturdy, clear plastic bags?? They are 24 cm x 30 cm in size.

The Press gets delivered in them daily, so they are clean inside and I collect a good twenty-five a month and they are not recyclable. Therefore The Press leaves each and every subscriber no choice but to throw into the rubbish more than 2.5 Kg of solid plastic per year!!! Despite emailing them and calling them twice they have not revealed to me how many subscribers ( i.e. plastic bag wasters ) they have. If I did my math correctly that is 2.500 Kg or 2.5 ton of waste per 1.000 subscribers!! Imagine the mountain of plastic for say 25.000 or 30.000 subscribers. I talked to the duty-reporter once but she was not interested to deal with the subject.

With so much going on this time of year it’s easy to get caught up in the festivities and forget about others, especially those having a difficult time.
Whether it’s an elderly neighbour who lives alone to a family on your street working hard to make ends meet, reach out to someone who could use a little extra joy in their life and remind them what the holiday spirit is all about!
Other ideas include fundraising for a local charity, doing a food or toy drive, organising a ‘Secret Santa’ gift exchange on your street, giving a present to a neighbour who helped to make your 2020 better, or even host a community Christmas lunch.
Let us know how you’re giving back in your community in December by emailing: info@neighbourhoodsupport.co.nz

We'd be keen to hear about your favourite summer holiday spots in NZ. Is there somewhere you keep returning to year after year and, if so, what are the main attractions? What makes it such a stand-out spot? Any tips you may be able to offer on the best things to see and do there - as well as the best places to grab a drink or bite to eat - would be much appreciated. Please put 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you don't want it to appear in a travel article. Thanks again.

Rebuild work at a Christchurch school – which was already behind schedule – was further delayed when the construction firm went bust, owing more than $5 million.

Christchurch-based Corbel Construction went into liquidation in December 2018, owing $4.5m to unsecured creditors, $266,000 to BNZ and $960,000 to a private trust.
The company was part way through the first stage of Opawa School’s post-quake redevelopment at the time.
The project – which included new teaching spaces and an administration area – was originally scheduled for completion by September 2017, but did not finish until June 2020, at a cost of $4.5m.
Corbel Construction was founded in 2000 and employed about 80 full-time staff.
It secured several Ministry of Education contracts as part of the Christchurch Schools Rebuild Programme, including $5m for Shirley Primary School’s refurbishment and $2.2m for the construction of a classroom block at Tai Tapu School.
It was also chosen to deliver the $16m upgrade for North Canterbury schools, expanding or improving facilities at Oxford Area, Rangiora Borough, Ashgrove and Southbrook schools.
Head of education infrastructure service Kim Shannon said the ministry was made aware of the firm’s liquidation at the time, and Opawa School was kept “fully informed”.
“The project was delayed by about five months while a replacement contractor, Contract Construction, was appointed,” she said.
Sally Ormandy, principal of Opawa School, said they were continuing to work with the ministry to complete their remaining building work.
