Well Auckland really did redeem it self this month. We usually drive straight through the city but finding a few new places to stop made for a much more pleasant experience. Oh plus I think the Scorpions concert really did help. Def Leppard weren't too bad either lol.
Spring is in the air and heading back down the country. Hopefully see you next year the Winterless north.
Pleased to be back in the north again after a quick U turn south. Looks more like winter this time though.
Maybe I'm going to complete The 💯 Day Plastic Free Challenge, or Maybe I'm not but at least I'm on the Waka and going to give it a go. I'm definitely going to be reducing the mounds of soft plastic packaging that seem to be building up around us. I don't remember all this in the house but then again I had other cooking options and and local/familiar stores where I knew I could get the plastic free produce. Wish me luck especially as we head north towards unfamiliar ground/shops.
Lovely weather this March so nice to be able to enjoy the sun for so long (ie unlike the south Island).
Our task of minimising the waste is going well. Compost deposited via a lovely lady from the Facebook Zero Waste in NZ group. Recycling sorted as usual and only a small bag for the landfill this month but you really don't want to see how much soft plastic packaging I have. Unfortunately we'll need to keep the soft plastics with us until we visit the Waikato again as not many places in the North Island have the facilities to recycle soft plastics but at least it doesn't take up as much room as the rest of the recycling. Also finished the last bottle of washing up liquid so the transistion to soap is done. Not sure if this is the best environmentally friendly soap (unsustainable palm oil and all that) but at least it's a step in the right direction. I think.
Thumbs up to a more positive effort to minimize our waste while on the road. Cloth bags organised, food scraps composted, soft plastics sorted and just one tiny plastic bag of waste to go to the landfill this month.
Ha, ha, Mark thought he'd managed to put down the tools but a few electrical gremlins of his own came to find him. Well at least he did manage to get to the beach.
