Some New Zealanders are trying to do their bit for climate change by biking more, planting trees, trying Meat-Free Mondays and only purchasing used clothing.

Lovely jigsaw to do. Printed 1996.
The box is rubbed on the corners and has a message on the inside that there are missing pieces - the pieces are all there. There are tear strips on the back from sellotape. See photos.
On the base is printed the song 'Twelve days of Christmas', so if you get tired of putting in the pieces, you can always serenade those who are nearby.

Meri Kirihimete and happy holidays, Porirua!

Porirua City Council

While overall rates of participation were disappointing across the country, I’m grateful to say in Porirua we saw a robust campaign that never descended into the rancour and nastiness that affected contests elsewhere.

The Council had a busy year with a big works programme of water and roading maintenance and upgrades, as well as extensive tree planting, that will accelerate into 2023 and beyond. Continuing questions over the precise direction of the Government’s Three Waters plan, along with impending local body reforms, make this a difficult and uncertain time, but I have every confidence in the city’s readiness to adapt to this quickly evolving environment.
