Many of us grew up flocking to Glassons, Hallenstein's, Cotton On and Just Jeans for our hardy perennials - jeans, t-shirts, summer dresses - and some of us still do.

But we're increasingly becoming aware that buying a $20 t-shirt that won't last the distance isn't that great for the environment.
While some of us are pledging to only buy second hand or to invest in statement pieces - more expensive items that will last a long time- not all of us have that luxury.
We're wanting to speak to someone who isn't giving up their fast fashion any time soon, whether it's for economic or style reasons, personal choice or indifference to the environment. Maybe you're a student who likes the choice chain store fashion brings, or perhaps you're a parent whose children are growing too fast to risk splashing out on expensive clothing.

Running between the wastewater treatment plant at Moa Point and the Southern landfill are two pipes that carry a treatment process byproduct, generally known as sludge.
Only one pipe operates at a time, to allow for maintenance, but over the weekend, both pipes suffered damage that meant we couldn’t keep using them.
They’re under very high pressure when they’re operating, so it’s possible that the live pipe disrupted the other one when it failed.
The pipes were expected to last for a good 80 years or more, so we think that some kind of installation or material defect has caused them to stop working.
En route from the treatment plant to the landfill, the pipes pass through a tunnel beneath Mt Albert, and this is where the repair will be carried out.
While we carry out the repairs, trucks will be used to convey sludge from the plant to the landfill. About a million litres of sludge a day is generated at the plant, and trucks may need to operate around the clock from time to time.
A similar repair, also due to a defect in the concrete in which the pipes are embedded, was carried out in 2013 and took about five weeks to complete.
We’ll provide more information on the repair timeline and truck schedule as we learn more.

Moving overseas so can’t take my established plants with us. Very hardy plants that withstand the good old Wellington wind. Plants I have (as shown in order of pictures) are: Margarita & Lavendar. Ideal to brighten up any patio area. (Doesn’t include pots). $5 each
I have 20 multi-colour test pots (unused) & 12 Wood colour test pots - unused (6 Oregan, 6 Walnut) that I’ve bought for DIY projects but never used. Great for budding artists & home projects. Would love for them to be put to a good use. $10 the lot.
Cori Maroroa knows first hand just how good the #KiwiCan programme is for kids. After all, Maroroa loved it when she went through it a primary school as a student.
Now she is helping new generations of primary school students benefit from the same programme as one of its senior leaders.
