Love the party season but hate the hangovers? It’s time to dust off your dancing shoes and paint the town red, then wake up feeling great thanks to Hydrodol!


The ultimate hangover relief  for festive season revellers, Hydrodol lets you step out into the sunshine and make the most of the morning after – sunglasses optional! Designed to be taken during a night out, Hydrodol replaces what your body loses when you drink, helping you to wake up feeling fresh after a big night.

Also renowned as an effective fatigue fighter, Hydrodol helps minimise dehydration, giving you the energy you need to party all night yet still bounce back refreshed and energetic the next day.

Boasting a new enhanced formula and natural ingredients, Hydrodol works to prevent hangovers before they start, so the dreaded dry horrors don’t come knocking the next morning! The comprehensive formula replaces nutrients your body loses when you’re drinking such as vitamins, minerals, sugars and amino acids. Hydrodol also contains the herb Kudzu-Pueraria-Lobta, which is used in Chinese medicines for hangover symptoms.

A Hydrodol capsule only contains ingredients that are found naturally in your body – no mysterious additions or chemicals here! Simply take 4 capsules while drinking, alternatively take 4 capsules the morning after to speed up recovery.

Hydrodol is available from pharmacies and health food stores across New Zealand and also online at www.hydrodol.co.nz.

Natural Pest Repellent

Avoid using potentially hazardous insecticides to repel aphids and ants from the garden by using orange and banana peels to keep the pests away. Cut up banana peels to bury 1 to 2 inches deep in the soil around plants that are prone to aphid infestations to repel and remove aphids from the area. Organic Authority recommends placing pieces of orange peel around affected plants or creating a tear in the orange peel and attaching it directly to the stem of the affected plant. Orange peels contain d-Limonene, a natural chemical that destroys the waxy coating on ants and aphids, causing them to suffocate and die. Orange peels are highly fragrant, giving off a repellent scent to keep ants and aphids away from the garden. You can also make orange oil by simmering orange peels and collecting the condensation to use as a natural repellent.

Banana peels are particularly effective for use as a natural fertilizer. They rot quickly if you bury them, offering rich stores for vital nutrients to the soil, including potassium, calcium, sulfur, phosphorus, magnesium and sodium. You can dry and grind peels to use as mulch, or apply them directly to planting areas.

recycling soft plastic.

At the Zero waste, we had been doing this for a long time, and in my previous school, we also have been doing this.

http://www.3news.co.nz/environmentsci/recycling-programme-gives-new-life-for-soft-plastics-2015112510#axzz3sFBvtbto

Soft plastics can now be recycled as part of a national programme to help save 4.3 million plastic bags from ending up at the landfill.

The Soft Plastics Recycling Programme was officially launched in Auckland this morning by Environment Minister Nick Smith and is a joint venture between the government, retail and packaging sectors.

Special bins have been installed at 70 New World, Pak 'n Save, Countdown and The Warehouse stores in Auckland, with plans to expand across other regions.

It’s the first programme to enable the recycling of soft plastics such as shopping bags, bread bags, frozen food bags and food wrap.

"The success of this venture depends on households developing a culture of collecting soft plastics and depositing them in the new drop-off facilities," says Dr Smith.

The programme will eventually spread to Hamilton, Wellington, Canterbury, Otago, Bay of Plenty and Manawatu during its three-year lifespan.

It aims to give 70 percent of Kiwis access to a recycle bin within a 20 kilometre drive.

Dr Smith says the recycling programme builds on the kerbside recycling of glass, hard plastics and paper, which has become standard among households.

Packaging Forum project manager Lyn Mayes says it is important people know the bins are for all kinds of soft plastics, not just shopping bags.

"Plastic shopping bags are a discretionary item which you can take or leave, but soft plastic packaging is required to protect and preserve many products," she says.

“We are asking people to collect their packaging at home and drop it into the Love NZ Soft Plastics Recycling bins at their local participating stores when they next go shopping, so we can recycle it."

The plastic will be processed, baled and sent to Australia, where it will be made into new products.

RED Group, which runs the operational side of the programme, believes it could take time for people to get into the habit of using the bins.

Director Liz Kasell says it will take at least 12 weeks for people to get used to putting things in the bins.

"We can expect to see an average of six to eight bin liners full of plastic bags and packaging per week per store once things get rolling, equivalent to around 10,000 units of packaging," she says.

The programme is expected to stop around 3 million items of soft packaging from going to landfill across Auckland every month.

The project has received $1.3 million in funding, including $700,000 from the Government Waste Minimisation Fund, with the rest from retailers and several brands.

Soft plastics you can recycle:

• Bread bags;
• Frozen food bags;
• Toilet paper packaging;
• Confectionery and biscuit wrap;
• Chip bags;
• Pasta and rice bags;
• Courier envelopes;
• Shopping bags and sanitary hygiene wrap;
• Anything made of plastic which can be scrunched into a ball.
