Anyone can get involved in Clean Up Week from schools, businesses, community groups or even just individuals wanting to make a difference. This non-invasive technique has shown promising results in reducing depressive symptoms, especially in individuals who have not responded well to medication. The programmes are a great way for individuals to get involved, collaborate, and contribute to the litter solution while gaining experience in data collection and analysis. If your group or team wants to take a deeper look at the litter in your area, participating in a citizen science programme and recording the litter types, weights and locations will provide a secondary dataset to the National Litter Audit. “All too often we see litter within our communities and pass it off as somebody else’s problem. We wiped each tile section with a dry paper towel to see if any residue was left behind. Then, check your existing cleaning supplies to see what needs to be restocked. The circular motion of vacuum cleaning could help remove all the dirt, quickly. Use gentle moisturizers to help with dryness or flaking. This data will, in turn, feed into a shared database that will help to inform local and national legislation, as well as KNZB’s community led programming and behaviour change campaigns.

“This year we launched both our Upstream and Backyard Battle citizen science programmes which contribute to a national and international data set. For the first time there will be the opportunity for those involved in Clean Up Week to also contribute to KNZB’s Citizen Science programmes. To date, The Spruce has tested over 350 vacuums, in both The Lab and our own homes, and I can tell you this: picking the right vacuum for your space will depend on your specific needs. As a consequence over a thousand people died from eating fish and shellfish contaminated with mercury and around two thousand people suffered from mercury poisoning. In the Far North, Opouteke recorded the highest rainfall with 63.5mm over the 24 hours. Northland Regional Council rainfall figures for the 24 hours to 6am Sunday show that more than 100mm of rain fell in some locations in Northland. “Last year we had 30,390 volunteers dedicate their time during Clean Up Week to tidy up their communities, and we’re urging more Kiwi families to take up the challenge this year,” says Saunderson. Iconic Kiwi charity Keep New Zealand Beautiful (KNZB) is excited to announce that its annual Clean Up Week, New Zealand’s largest movement against litter, will take place from 17 September until 23 September 2022, with registrations open now.

Citizen science is a great opportunity for volunteers to make an ongoing contribution to their community, develop research skills and be part of a global movement. Watercare and Auckland Council’s Healthy Waters had originally planned a programme of work to separate the combined stormwater/wastewater network in St Marys Bay and Herne Bay, as part of the Western Isthmus Water Quality Improvement Programme, which would significantly reduce overflows into the harbour when it rains. Issue: sometimes people bring, store or work on bicycles in the space. You crawl from your car, ragged and weary from another hard day at work. Now that the phase out dates have passed, funding under this scheme is no longer available. Nitrate and Nitrite are the only acute inorganic contaminants regulated under the Phase II/V Rules. They are renowned for minimal fan noise with MSZ-FB25VA indoor units having the lowest sound level in the industry at an amazingly low 20 decibels. The chemicals industry continues to navigate a lack of sound sustainability strategies and consensus safety standards surrounding heavily formulated consumer goods. Rousselet Robatel horizontal peeler centrifuges are used extensively in the chemical industry for applications such as organic and inorganic chemicals, starch, agricultural products, food products, plastics, petrochemicals…

Storm-weary Northlanders are today returning their attention to clean-up efforts after another drenching overnight. Rain is expected to continue throughout today but this is not expected to cause further concern. These include toxic metals, poisonous gases and chemicals that are known to cause cancer. This multi-surface pet floor cleaning formula contains mainly water along with nonionic surfactants, fragrance, methylisothiazolone, etc. This kid-friendly solution does not contain any heavy metals, optical brighteners, or dyes.Though it is safe, I like to remind you of the standard safety guideline. In the U.S., water companies add a small amount of fluoride — between 0.8 and 1.2 milligrams per liter — to drinking water as a way to protect teeth from decay. In Whangarei, 106mm had been recorded in Maunu and a similar amount (105.2mm) at the regional council’s Water St offices. During our testing, it did especially well at extracting water from the carpet. These increases, along with further costs identified in the design stage to accommodate geotechnical risks, put our most recent cost estimates for the St Marys and Herne Bay separation project at $278 million – well above the original forecast of $136m. “The Central Interceptor extension is an excellent alternative as it will achieve the same environmental benefits but sooner and at about 20 per cent less cost than separation.
