Who can and CANNOT SHOP
I would love to have absolute clarity as to who must NOT go to the shops.It is my understanding that if your over 70 you are NOT allowed to go to the supermarket.Some of my friends think that's incorrect.Also shopping with your partner seems to be confusing .My son and his partner went shopping together (he was shopping for me and his partner shopping for her parents)They were not allowed in the shop together so my Son waited in the car before shopping for me.It would seem that some supermarkets aren't complying and I applaud new world for enforcing that rule.Countdown on the other hand have told me I'll be welcome to shop even though I'm in my 80s with already serious underlying health issues.Does anyone know for sure what is 100% correct?
Phew hope someone can help me do the right thing .I've no wish to be arrested lol
Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
