PLASTIC BAGS I would like to thank Ronan Smythe (10) for his well researched article on Plastic Bags (Bugle 23 August 2016). As I have used cloth recyclable bags for my shopping for many years, it is alarming how many plastic bags still accumulate at my place. There are bread bags, plastic from around toilet rolls, kitchen paper, etc. I appreciate the move by New World supermarkets and The Warehouse (there may be others I’m not aware of) to provide a collection place for all the soft plastic that cannot go in the recycling system. Well done, Ronan. ~ Mariann Mear KAIWAKA WAR MEMORIAL HALL Annual General Meeting 5pm Tuesday 11 October 2016 All welcome Who left this rubbish on the corner of Oneriri Roads and last Rangiora week?
