Karate Classes at YMCA Northcote
A heads up to the lovely people here that the karate club at YMCA Northcote is resuming classes from 2 Feb. :)
Though COVID made it tricky, especially considering it was our first year, we somehow managed to pull through with 5 students clearing their grading exams at the end of the year! We're all set to face 2021 now, and are in search of more people who would like to give it a try.
If either you or someone you know might be interested in joining us, do reach out to me on +64 27 580 3759. I'd be happy to talk about it with you. :)
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.
