Wade Peek was recently named Plastics Apprentice of the Year, is definitely one to watch. With two qualifications under his belt, he’s been earmarked as a future plastics industry leader.
He hopes to one day start his own manufacturing business and says: "I really want to pass on what I have learnt to support apprentices in their training. I also want to be able to teach people outside of the plastics industry about what we do, as I truly believe we can't solve any of the really important environmental issues that surround plastic unless as many people as possible understand it."

We're all working from home during this lockdown, not just to bring you your favourite gardening mag, but also our Garden Diary 2022! This is where we need your help: Show us how you've been using your 2021 Diary -- take photos of the pages, tell us what was most useful, did you have enough space to write your notes, what have you scribbled on the pages? Did you clip your plant labels on them? Perhaps shoot a little video with your phone as you turn the pages. Your feedback will help us put together next year's diary.
Please email your comments and photos to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, by this Friday, Aug 27. The five most helpful readers will each receive a free copy of the 2022 diary.
Using a CDC graph depicting deaths per capita per year from infectious diseases in the USA, I have calculated that the US in 2020 went backwards to between 1945-1948.

When my Grandad (who died recently) was born the deaths from infectious disease would have been twice what they were in 2020 in the US.
A modern day 100 year pandemic isn't half as bad as normal conditions when my Grandad was born!
And that's not taking into account polio which was more likely to paralyze or cripple than be deadly.
The 2020 conditions in the US brought infectious disease deaths inline with normal conditions about ten years before my Dad was born.
This is only of course if you were lucky enough to be born in a country where infectious disease was being managed effectively.
The new normal is not Lockdowns. The new normal is comparing statistics to the recent historical lows.
I hope this graph provides some perspective.
