Buy local: A seaside bookshop's unique collection of children's books

Jake Kenny Reporter from Community News

Hi neighbours,

Just 125 steps from the beach lies a quaint children’s bookshop with the friendliest volunteer staffer.

Jude Potts​ runs The Children’s Bookshop in Redcliffs – a seaside suburb on the eastern outskirts of Christchurch. The store has a long and proud history in the city, having first opened on Victoria St in 1976.

As part of Stuff’s Buy Local project, we are profiling six small Canterbury businesses that people may not already know about and that are in need of local support.

Say goodbye to tyre waste

Tyrewise

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.
