Kahutara Primary School in Featherston is switching to LEDs. All LEDs are Gen Less bulbs as they use less energy, which ultimately helps halt climate change. If we all got on board and switched now it would make a huge difference

For the month of November, we want to raise awareness and work together to end all forms of violence including family harm, elder and child abuse, sexual assault, gang violence, and more. These victimisations affect us all and can have lasting effects that spill into our everyday lives including at work and school.
To do your part this month, perhaps consider supporting a women’s refuge or work with Police in your area to host an info night on how to identify elder or child abuse in your community. This month’s campaign also coincides with White Ribbon Day on 25 November which is an internationally celebrated day that aims to prevent violence towards women.
Let us know how you’re spreading the ‘It’s Not OK’ message in your home or in your community by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:

We know about Northland’s unsealed roads, our changeable weather and the fact that our people live over a wide-spread area that’s often difficult to access quickly by road. We’re also aware of the increased risk of death and serious injury caused when medical treatment is delayed – all of which makes Northland’s Rescue Helicopter service so essential.

According to Love Food Hate Waste, a food saver campaign which 60 New Zealand councils run, New Zealand homes throw away 157,398 tonnes of food per year, all of which could have been eaten.

This is enough food to feed the whole of Dunedin for nearly three years, and costs the average household $644 a year.
New Zealand’s yearly food waste produces 409,234 tonnes of carbon emissions, as much as 137,511 Ford Ranger cars. In high-income economies like NZ, up to 35 percent of food is thrown out by consumers. In low-income economies, however, relatively little is wasted at the household level.
Unsurprisingly, reducing food waste is the third most efficient solution to reduce CO2 emissions and thus global warming and climate change. It's one of the few low-hanging fruit (pun intended), and a solution that is simple and cheap enough to allow all of us to make a contribution, without having to invest first.

Dogs lolling beneath cafe tables while their owners sip lattes or glasses of pinot would have been unthinkable 30 years ago.
Now it is just the way Kiwis roll, with a raft of dog-friendly dining options available throughout the country. What do you think? Should dogs be allowed in cafes?

As the summer peak season approaches we are expecting a record number of campers to visit Whangarei District for their holidays. We want visitors to feel welcome, and we also want them to respect the local rules! Our Ambassadors interact with campers to offer local advice, answer questions, and explain rules as needed. They can also report issues to Armourguard if enforcement is required. Expenses are covered.
Freedom campers tend to be a mix of locals and foreigners and a range of ages. They're all looking for a nice holiday, and you can be a part of it!
To learn more about our programme and express interest as an Ambassador please get in touch through our webpage (hit "read more" below)

They want a sale and have instructed us to present all offers.
Beginning life as a renowned restaurant and currently operating very successfully as boutique accommodation, The Peppertree works very well as a function centre and would also make a superb cellar door. Located with State Highway frontage close to Blenheim and situated on the soon to open Picton to Kaikoura cycleway, it is ideally positioned to cash in on Marlborough’s growing tourism industry.
Each of the five beautifully appointed suites has been subtly themed, providing individual charm as well as comfort. The heart of the home is a spacious, recently renovated farmhouse kitchen enjoying garden and orchard views. A large wood burner with wetback and solar heats the water for a series of radiators around the house, ensuring warmth year-round.
Encompassing four hectares and featuring organically managed vineyard and gardens, fruit trees, berry patches, olives and grazing for sheep, cattle, and horses, The Peppertree is close to being self-sufficient. The extra land also offers an opportunity for future expansion and development.
The rateable value for land and improvements is $1,520,000.
All offers requested to be received by 4 pm Wednesday 27 November 2019.
For more information or an appointment to view, please contact Michal or Tim.
