fitness gym
just posting a message about mangere town centre or the surrounding area having a proper fitness gym and seeing if other mangere residents feel the same way about this , for a longtime mangere has gone without a gym but we have all the major takeaway outlets mcds, kfc , burger king , pizza hut , carl juniors and a host of other different takeaways to put on the weight but nothing to balance the scale and battle the fat , you look at other neighbouring suburbs like onehunga , royal oak, mt roskill and the other way Mt wellington , panmure , stonefields they all have 2 - 1 gyms each suburb but somehow mangere town missed out , yes there is the mangere pools which has a very basic setup not enough for some , in my opinion mangere has a bit of a obesity problem and some of them are my own family and we all have those family relatives and want help but nowhere to go to get it like a gym, and no insentive to lose weight and eat healthier , having a gym in mangere would be a godsend for some and the mangere community would benefit greatly , people by the loads would be lining up to sign up join the gym instead of lining up for that bucket of chicken or a super upsized combo with large fries , i think the YMCA NZ should step-up and tackle this problem they always on facebook talking about supporting communities with youth and elderly and mangere would be another manukau/auckland suburb and that would be a fantastic choice for everyone but the people who need to read and really hear this message are the council people for mangere-otahuhu who actually do the town planning , i hope other mangerians have the same feelings about this cause mangere needs a gym even two gyms not another major brand takeaway , cheers to everyone
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.
