Kia ora All,

Happy New Year and hope everyone has had a good break! You may have heard of Love Food Hate Waste (LFHW), an organisation which encourages and educates kiwi's on how to reduce food waste and save money.

LFHW is running a campaign promoting meal planning to combat food waste. The campaign will run through the month of March and WCC will be promoting it via various avenues, including hopefully your library or community centre 😊.

We have access to free display kits which are ideal for community centres, libraries etc. Each kit contains meal planning steps, posters, an information sheet with the campaign background and ideas for display and details on how to submit photos to win a LFHW prize pack.

More information on the campaign can be found here: TAO Toolkit -The Food Critics - Do Better Meal Planning (1).pdf

Poster examples are also attached to this email.

If you were interested in receiving a kit, please let us know by Friday 17th January. The kits will then be distributed to the centres between 10-17th February.

Ngā mihi,

The Waste Minimisation team.

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️

It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:

👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️

Few things in life are as enriching as the thrill of travel or the camaraderie among friends. At Ryman’s Bert Sutcliffe Village in Auckland, a group of intrepid travellers have combined the two.

It all began when Bert Sutcliffe Village resident Marie began arranging evenings at the theatre for her neighbours. The theatre enthusiasts soon became close friends and as their friendships developed so did their adventures, expanding their horizons to include long lunches, winery tours, group dinners and adventurous holidays in New Zealand and overseas.
