www.homepages.paradise.net.nz/albie/carpool/buysell This website is intended to encourage recycling and re-use of items which we no longer need. There are surely people here in the Bay who would like to use the things we have in the shed.. If you have something which you haven't used for the past year, perhaps someone else may benefit if you listed it here for sale or to give away - it will help in a small way to save the planet! There is NO CHARGE to list an item, but this site is for Golden Bay Residents only. (Sorry everyone else!) |

www.plasticbagshoppingfree.org.nz Whilst plastic shopping bags are only light, flimsy articles - they are a frivolous emblem of our wasteful society, that has got used to consuming and throwing things away without thinking about the implications. Use cloth bags, baskets or cardboard boxes when you go shopping. Collingwood, just north of Takaka, has announced its decision to go completely shopping bag free, making it the first town in New Zealand to take such a stance. |
