Drive-In cinema opens tomorrow night...

Kate from Meadowbank

Looking for some covid-friendly, family-friendly/date-friendly fun? Check this out.... thedrivein.nz...

A dear friend of mine has turned a rancid Covid lemon into a huge serve of burgers and ice-cream for all of us...

(She’s not on neighbourly yet so I’m posting on her behalf)

Anna Hood and her business partner Vinnie Sherry, run Campbell+Co, an events business in NZ (Diner en Blanc, etc). Covid-19 has pulled the proverbial handbrake on their thriving business - as it has for so many businesses.

So … in a cool example of courage, innovation & quick action, Anna and Vinnie have launched Drive-In Cinema (thedrivein.nz...) at the ASB Stadium in Auckland, with sponsor AA Smartfuel.

Starting tomorrow, it’s 23 sessions across 10 days. You stay in your car, pre-ordered food is brought to you, contactless of course (Burger Burger and Ben&Jerry’s) and you get to watch a cool movie.

Go get those tix and support a local biz while getting your burger on

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.

Find out more about the scheme online.
