Repurposing Chip and Foil Packets - doing your part to help the planet!!

Terrena from St Heliers

Summer eating....Chips and Crackers Yum. Biscuits! Yum Yum. Most of these come in foil packets. Did you know that it takes about 2mins to eat a packet of chips and then 80 years for one foil packet to decompose in landfill - shocking!
We are making something out of nothing. Fusing foil to make survival blankets (think thermal blankets) for those needing warmth this winter. Rethinking your rubbish - instead of putting your foil in the bin you give those packets to your local St Heliers Fusion Group. We are the Chip Packet Project St Heliers Fusion Group. Contactless collection bin in the back of St Philips Anglican Church at 92 St Heliers Street. Check out facebook @chippacketprojectnz #foilfusionfriday

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Aucklanders, our weekly rubbish collections are staying after councillors voted to scrap a proposed trial of fortnightly pick-ups.

We want to hear from you: would you be keen to switch to a fortnightly rubbish collection, or do you prefer things as they are?

Keen for the details? Read up about the scrapped collection trial here.
