Waste collection - Red (general), Yellow (paper/plastics/cans) & Green (organic/garden)
2023-04-03 08:00 - 17:00, 2023-05-01 08:00 - 17:00, 2023-05-29 08:00 - 17:00, 2023-06-26 08:00 - 17:00 | Wellington
Your rubbish bin / ipupara
This is your wheelie bin with the red lid, and it’s just for rubbish.
When green waste goes to landfill it creates methane, a greenhouse gas much more potent than carbon dioxide.
Instead of putting it in your red bin, consider composting or using our green waste collection.
Did you know? I get collected weekly.

Your green (garden) waste bin / ipupara tupu
Your green bin is for garden waste only. What can you put in this bin?
YES

Grass clippings
Plant cuttings
NO
Rubbish
Concrete or stone
Nappies
Food waste

Tip: If you don’t have a green waste bin, or you have large quantities of green waste, you can take it to the Silverstream transfer station. If you have compost waste, here are some options.

Your recycling bin with the yellow lid / ipu hangarua
This is your wheelie bin with the yellow lid, and it’s just for rubbish.
I get collected on yellow weeks. When incorrect items end up in the wrong bin, they contaminate the recycling / ipu hangarua, which can mean the whole truckload ends up going to landfill. That’s why we need to make sure the only thing that goes in our yellow bins is the stuff that’s too good to waste.

What can be put in the Yellow bin?
YES

Paper and cardboard
Tins and cans
Plastic containers marked with thes esymbols, often embossed on bottom of item
Plastic symbols 1,2,5

NO

Glass
Batteries
Nappies
Drink cartons / Tetrapak
Polystyrene, clothes hangers and toys
Soft plastics, cling film and strapping

Note: Many of these non recyclable materials can be recycled through other channels – some options are listed here.

THIN ICE: Climate Change Made Clear - film screening
2023-04-16 16:00 - 18:00 | Muritai School Hall, 166 Muritai Road, Eastbourne, Lower Hutt
Eastern Bays Climate Response Network & York Bay Residents Association
INVITE YOU TO A SCREENING OF:
THIN ICE
THE INSIDE STORY OF CLIMATE SCIENCE
(DIRECTORS’ BROADCAST CUT)
“THE MOST ACCURATE DESCRIPTION OF THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT IN ANY DOCUMENTARY, EVER.”
Dr. Bryan Killett.
In recent years climate science has come under increasing attack, so geologist Simon Lamb took his camera to find out what is really going on. For over three years he followed
scientists from a wide range of disciplines at work in the Arctic, Antarctic, Southern Ocean, New Zealand, Europe and the USA. They talk about their work, their hopes and fears with a rare candour and directness. This creates an intimate portrait of the global community of researchers racing to understand our planet’s changing climate, and provides a compelling case for rising CO2 as the main cause.
Thin Ice – the inside story of climate science – is a unique project: a film about climate science made by a scientist.
FROM THE DIRECTORS
David Sington: “THIN ICE has been a fascinating and unusual project to be involved with. Although I went on the shoot to Antarctica (what an amazing experience that was!), most of the material in the film was shot by Simon over a three-year period without any involvement from me. When Simon asked me if I would be willing to put all this material together, I was at first a little skeptical, but I soon realized that he had managed to capture something
unique. Perhaps because they were talking to a fellow scientist, all the contributors spoke with a relaxed confidence and candour that meant that not only did their science come across with rare clarity, but their personalities and engagement with their work did as well. So I gathered the top-flight team that has worked with me on many of my most successful films, especially the brilliant film editor David Fairhead and equally brilliant composer Philip
Sheppard. We quickly realized that Simon’s own journey had to be part of the story (not something that had been in his mind when he filmed!). I think the final result is probably the most scientifically informative documentary ever made about climate change. I hope it also has a subtle emotional undertow which makes it an enjoyable and ultimately rather moving film to watch.”
Simon Lamb: “The main message of the film is that climate scientists are like any other scientists, and they can be trusted because their quest is to understand the planet’s climate as fully and accurately as possible. …Science has given us a great gift, the ability to look into our future and shape it. The film does not set out to tell the audience what we should do about climate change, but rather, what we know about it.”
The film chronicles my personal journey to find out directly from climate scientists why they think that our emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are changing the planet’s climate. In fact, the film is almost entirely in the words of the scientists, and I am really only the ‘glue’ that holds what they say together. However, by watching the film, you not only find out what the scientists think, you also see for yourself the research being
carried out, whether it be on the polar plateau in Antarctica, at -40°C, or in a storm on the Southern Ocean, or back in the laboratory.

Anzac Day is observed annually on 25 April.
It honours New Zealanders killed in war and honours returned and serving servicemen and women.
The date marks the anniversary of the landing of Australian and New Zealand soldiers (the Anzacs) on the Gallipoli Peninsula in 1915. The aim was to capture the Dardanelles and open a sea route to the Bosphorus and the Black Sea. At the end of the campaign, Gallipoli was still held by its Ottoman Turkish defenders.
Thousands lost their lives during the Gallipoli campaign, including 2779 New Zealanders.
On 25 April, ceremonies are held at war memorials all across New Zealand, and in places overseas where New Zealanders gather.

Emergency Mobile Alert (EMA) system test
2023-05-28 18:00 - 19:00 | Online
We’re testing the Emergency Mobile Alert (EMA) system on Sunday, 28 May, between 6-7pm.

The alert will be broadcast from cell towers across New Zealand to all capable phones. So, you don’t need to download an app or subscribe to a service to receive it.

In a real-life emergency situation, an alert may be sent to target areas affected by serious hazards. If you get an alert, stop, read the message, and take it seriously. It will tell you what the emergency is and what to do. It will also tell you which agency sent the message and if needed, where to go for more information.

Emergency Mobile Alerts are not meant to replace other emergency alerts or the need to take action after natural warnings. Don’t wait for an official warning if you feel your life is in danger. Take immediate action.
