Hi neighbours,

Are government-funded school lunches needed in our community? Experts have said free school lunches could address a "blind spot" in efforts to eliminate child poverty in NZ. To read more, click here.

Sweden, for example, offers free nutritious school lunches to children in all primary schools. Is this something NZ should be doing too? Or should funding be focused elsewhere? Would funded lunches help your family? Let us know your thoughts in the replies below.

Considering glass protection?

If your considering glass protection, why should you consider using Clearshield over other glass protection products available?
The reason's are;
- ClearShield's UK Manufacturer, Ritect International, is the Global market leader and has been in operation for 37 years, so ClearShield has been tried, tested and proven in many glass applications around the World and in NZ.

- ClearShield is a polymer resin, so chemically links to the glass which is unlike it's competitors which supply a coating. Unfortunately some coatings fade or crack over time.

- Because ClearShield is a polymer resin it is non hazardous & non flammable, which is unlike some of its competitors who supply a Silicon based product. If you haven't heard, silicon is listed after asbestos as substances contributing to workplace airborne diseases.

- To recondition & protect glass with ClearShield is upto a seven step process dependant on the condition of the glass. The ClearShield Eco system is built to last, not a short term fix like some products out there.

- All glass protection still requires the glass to be cleaned to retain glass clarity of new glass. For me personally this amounts to approx 5 minutes/week for my shower with a cleaning cost of approx $23/annum. If you follow the maintenance requirements ie 5 minutes/week, glass clarity for new glass will be a minimum of 10 years and restored shower glass 4 years.

- look at glass restoration before replacement to reduce your refurbishment costs.
