Kmart's list of 31 recalls

Hundreds of thousands of inexpensive items that pass through the retail giant's checkouts every year, so it's only to be expected there will be recalls – Kmart even has a recalls page on its website, and there are 31 products on the list.

Hi neighbours, do you love Kmart?

Hundreds of thousands of inexpensive items that pass through the retail giant's checkouts every year, so it's only to be expected there will be recalls – Kmart even has a recalls page on its website, and there are 31 products on the list.

The $55 timber Occasional Chair is the latest casualty, although this is a withdrawal rather than a recall. We don't know the reason for its withdrawal, except Kmart says it is for "a potential quality issue". But what other products have been found wanting?

LOPDELL THEATRE - TITIRANGI
TWO SCREENINGS 5.30pm & 8.00 pm
MEET THE FILMMAKER JAMES MUIR

Kauri are one of the largest and oldest living organisms on earth and they may vanish forever with the onset of the Dieback disease. The last of our greatest natural treasures are rapidly disappearing. Te Mauri o te Kauri ‘The Life-force of the Kauri’ is an exploration of Kauri ecology and the role this giant tree plays in forest ecosystems. The film explores natural history and cultural perceptions, expressing the life-force of this magnificent tree so that people can understand it better and see the forest in a different way.

Weaving stories from Māori and Pakeha Scientists, mingling the concepts of cultures to show how they complement each other and shape our understanding of the environment, this film takes us on a journey through the Kauri lifecycle and exposes the imminent threat from the rampant disease that is wiping out the last remaining forest giants.

Produced and Directed by: James Muir

Cinematography and Editing by: James Muir

Narrated by: Jennifer Ward-Lealand

Motion Graphics: Donald Ferns, Karsten Schneider

Featuring music by: Rhian Sheehan, Trinity Roots, Tomas Iglesias, Sam Charrington

Something we should be doing automatically 🍎🍊🍌🍞🍠🍅🍑

France has started forcing supermarkets to donate food instead of throwing it away.

France has started forcing supermarkets to donate food instead of throwing it away.
Something we should be doing here, instead they ship it off to the pig farms.
This article (see link below) is well worth a read.
There are far too many rules, PC police around the corner and still in this day and age, we are starving, our friends are going hungry, our children are starving. They going with out the basic stables to keep on living a healthy life.
Yet, the supermarkets, the restaurants, the fast food outlets etc ... continually throw away perfectly good, healthy food.
To me, this is totally unacceptable. We are throwing away more that we are consuming, both in the supermarkets etc ... and our homes.
I remember when baking our own bread, cakes etc .. was cheaper than buying, not so much now.
Buying healthy food is far more expensive than buying fast food and/or unhealthy options. WHY?
I know that I went slightly off course with the last two sentences, but this whole topic really gets my blood boiling, the waste, the expense - EVERYTHING.
Our friends, our families, our neighbourhoods are hungry - let's do something.
