URGENT: Face Shields for Essential Workers
Hi everyone, I have been 3D printing face shields for friends who are essential workers. I have an Auckland Hospital staff member who would like to trial it, but need someone who works at Auckland Hospital to collect from my letterbox and take it in for her to test. If anyone can help please let me know asap.
There are two parts to this design, and while I can make headband itself, I also need Overhead Projector Transparency sheets asap - if anyone has these in the back of their cupboard (preferably still in their packaging but anything would be helpful) please let me know.
If you know anyone else local who is an essential worker that may benefit from this please let me know and I'll help if I can. This is a very low cost effective physical barrier, but takes time to make.
As cases progress these may become a very important tool to help prevent the spread of Covid-19 so please let me know if you can help, either with delivery of the sample or transparency sheets.
Stay safe!

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
