Ban public sales of Fireworks.



Unfortunately there is too much misuse of fireworks by people that buy them.



The main problem is people stock up , then let them off at inappropriate times during the year.



As well as the amount of fire damage and extra pressure on medical services.



Also there is often a litter problem in public places.



What is the environmental impact from the gases from the burning of the fireworks?



Maybe the Government doesn't want want to ban public sales of fireworks because it gets revenue from the sales in taxes!



Public displays are far better quality and are at a set time.



Why is this important?

It protects our environment!

It stops noise pollution at inappropriate times!

saves extra pressure on fire service and Medical services

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!
