You won't be able to find plastic straws in Countdown stores from October 1 - they're off the shelves! To read more, click here.
Countdown is removing them from all stores and replacing them with a range of alternatives including bamboo, metal and paper straws.
The supermarket's move is expected to remove 11.6 million straws from circulation and the waste stream each year. WOW.
Do you think other NZ supermarkets should follow suit?
When you buy goods you have rights that protect you even if the warranty has expired. A warranty is extra to the protections in the Consumer Guarantees Act (CGA) and can’t override or replace these.

A warranty is extra to the protections in the Consumer Guarantees Act (CGA) and can’t override or replace these. This means a retailer can't just say you're out of luck because the warranty period has ended.
The CGA says that products have to be of an acceptable quality which means they must be fit for purpose (or do what they're made to do), last for a reasonable amount of time, be safe, and be free from any minor defects. What is “acceptable quality” is based on what you could reasonably expect taking into account things like the nature of the goods, what you paid for them, and any particular statements made about the goods.
If you have a problem with something you’ve bought and the warranty period has ended, you might still be entitled to have it repaired or replaced. Check out our information on your rights as a consumer or phone CAB on 0800 367 222.

Renshi Lucas will open a new dojo, the Hillcrest dojo, at Hillcrest Normal school, 218 Cambridge Road, Hillcrest on the 26th October 2018. Renshi Lucas' last class at Dinsdale will be the 24th September. Renshi Rohan will take over the Monday night classes and will continue teaching the Thursday class. Sempai Saheb will continue to support Renshi Rohan in both classes and is currently in training to take over the Thursday class early in 2019.
We thank Renshi Lucas for his service at Dinsdale for the last two years. He is sad to leave the students and only does so in the knowledge that he is leaving the students in great hands with Renshi Rohan, supported by Black tip Saheb Singh.
