HELP STOP the 42,000 SATELLITES

Jean from Tahunanui

STOP HIS 42,000 SATELLITES!
Elon Musk, billionaire, has sent up 120 of these Starlink satellite trains (cute names to impress us, eh?) and plans on sending up 60 more trains every 2 weeks, until he reaches 24,000.

They will outnumber the naked-eye stars.It It's only a matter of a few years before the sky as we know it — and as our ancestors have known it for millennia — will be irretrievably lost.

The night sky is one of the most inspirational views that our planet offers. Pondering the vastness of the universe provides inspiration to children, artists, scientists, and religious thinkers. The night sky is also an integral part of nature. For example, migrating birds navigate using the stars, which may be disrupted by these bright satellites swarming the sky . In addition, the satellites are already causing very serious damage to ground-based astronomy.

PLEASE sign this petition to SpaceX, Federal Communications Comm., & other companies planning satellite constellations. The signup is on the top right of this page:
secure.avaaz.org...

Please pass this on to as many people as possible, if you agree...

What they currently look like in the sky (AARGH imagine the final result— every night..) :

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
