Hi neighbours,

What do you think of this campaign? Hamilton high school students Chelsea West, Haydee Anson and Abbey Huriwai are publicly challenging McDonald's to ditch plastic straws nationwide. Although the fast-food giant has a couple of small initiatives on straw use, it seems to have no intention of expanding that initiative any time soon.

What do you think of the challenge? Should fast-food places ditch plastic straws? Do you think a straw on request policy would work in NZ? Let us know in the replies! (Please add "NFP/not for print" if you do not want your images/comments used on Stuff.)

Retaining wall consent: $20,000

Matt Bowen Reporter from Waikato Times

Hi neighbours,

This Christchurch couple is getting some attention after they discovered the cost of consenting a retaining wall on their property could equal the budget for the build.

Is this just the cost of doing things right? Or do you think it's excessive? And do you know of anyone … View more

Baby Caterpillar winter sleep sack 3 months - 3 years

Sylvia from Hamilton East

This is a winter merino sleep sack, rated from 3 months, however it is quite long and heavy, so I feel like it would be better suited to use from 6 months.
Dome closure at shoulders, with side domes to make the arm holes smaller so that baby doesn't slip through.
1 zip closure at side, … View more

1 zip closure at side, which makes it really comfortable.

Ergopouch sleep sack - 12-36 Months

Sylvia from Hamilton East

I loved this ergopouch sleepsack! It is 50% merino & 50% bamboo viscose with stretch cotton sides. The best feature is the double zip, which means that you can put baby in the sleep sack and zip up from the bottom. Nappy changes are easy with the sleep sack able to be unzipped from the … View moreI loved this ergopouch sleepsack! It is 50% merino & 50% bamboo viscose with stretch cotton sides. The best feature is the double zip, which means that you can put baby in the sleep sack and zip up from the bottom. Nappy changes are easy with the sleep sack able to be unzipped from the bottom without taking the sleep sack off.

Tog wise, I think that it is rated as a winter sleep sack,however it is not overly bulky or heavy.

Price: $40
