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

A Token Of Time

Andrea from Eden Terrace

A Token of time
May be recorded in the squiggle of a line
The emphasis on the word
The slope of the letter

A Token of time
Is no more than the paper or note
On which the word is written

A Token of time
May be recorded in the squiggle of a line
The emphasis on the word
The slope of the letter

A Token of time
Is no more than the paper or note
On which the word is written
And the eye and ear define it to be

A Token of time
Is spent the same in minutes or hours
The hand on a clock does not do justice
What the moment brings to the user

Time is Only Appreciated When Measured In Tokens Of Moments

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:
