Switch to LEDs for the climate

Andrew Caseley from Gen Less

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

The reinstatement of the land where the Bartley Street toilets were into a pocket park space is currently underway.
Bricks from the demolished toilet block are being reused for a retaining wall around the cypress trees at the front, while the remainder of the section will be converted to a grass lawn.
I stopped for a quick chat with the bricklayer today who was busy cutting away the hardened mortar from the old bricks so they could be reused for the new retaining wall.
The Kaipātiki Local Board will later be considering future options for this space.

Background: The Bartley Street toilets had come to the end of their life, and following public consultation, the Kaipātiki Local Board decided to build replacement toilets down the road at Jean Sampson Reserve rather than rebuild them at the Bartley Street site.

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:
