Police Give Football Boots to Children in Need
The long arm of the law has given football boots to more than 70 deserving children.
The boots were handed out at the Kiwi Tag National Club Challenge at Cornwall Park during the weekend, before Auckland went into a snap lockdown.
This marks the second year of the Auckland Boot Bin Project, an initiative where police from around Tamaki Makaurau donate and clean football boots.
Police say they were thrilled to be able to put smiles on the children's faces.
Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
