Many companies like these (including supermarkets) offer bs 0 hour contracts and low pay, in this day and age people simply want better for themselves.
I just made my own after looking around and seeing the prices, wasnt the best looking dress in the world but the hell was I going to spend $$$$$ for something worn literally once, so stupid.
Disagree, you can easily make a healthy lunch at a low cost, I made a bulk batch of vegetable soup which probably averaged out at barely $2 per serving.
All cyclists are menaces? With all due respect, is there a road toll just for cyclists? No, car drivers are the menaces in this country. I ride on the road, as close to the curb as possible, equip my bike with multiple lights, wear hi-vis and have to constantly be on my guard thanks to be CONSTANTLY pulled out on as car drivers DO NOT LOOK.
My mother in law is a primary teacher (is striking) - work follows her home and takes up time on the weekends, takes a tremendous about of planning/marking etc. and although yes there are perks (term holidays), I dont feel the pay reflects how much time in the week it takes to be a primary teacher.
When the quality of driving in a country is so bad they need a device to help them not tailgate.But noooo, its everyone elses poor driving standards right?
I was a smoker for years and years, after I quit and could smell other smokers I was shocked, couldnt believe I smelt that way or caused that stink in public for so long. This is a great step for communities.
Are people really so blind to the huge problem we have caused? Plastic has devastated the environment, oceans are polluted, wildlife is suffering and yet you want to cry about the absence of your plastic bag? Good grief.
Rather than pointing the finger at everyone else and every other industry can we not all just work individually to tackle the issue? Were all responsible.
We need to be focusing on cutting out single use plastics and materials that arent widely recycled and replacing with reusable / sustainable alternatives. Like, 50 years ago.
I dont quite understand the level of aggression directed to one side or the other, if it can even be called a side, when its down to someones personal lifestyle choice. If you eat meat, why get angry at someone that doesnt? In all honesty I think we should be far more focused on how meat and animal products are sourced, their treatment, addressing cruelty and the industries impact on the environment globally.
Fantastic to see roads made safer to accommodate cyclists, from commuters to kids getting to school. Just need to figure out how to deal with the awful driving standards in New Zealand now.
I have a brew basket which sits in my mug at work and use locally roasted organic coffee, lovely taste and a convenient way for me to have good quality coffee at work.
Im sorry but protecting wildlife and reducing plastic pollution is more important long term. Disabled people managed before plastic straws were invented, there will be alternatives available. In fact there literally already are, this is not a productive article. And no, I dont care, our devastating impact on marine, wild life and the environment concern me far more.
Plastic straws need to go, they needed to go decades ago. There are sustainable plastic straw alternatives already on the market. The future of our environment is more important.
Our government is addressing the VERY OBVIOUS plastic pollution problem which is devastating the environment and endangering wildlife worldwide, decades too late but at least its a start.
Its fantastic isnt it? Really chuffed to see more effort put into accommodating positive modes of transport like cycling and public transport, gives me a speck of hope for the future.
No product coming from an animal should be cheap. We only buy lewis road creamery, organic. Dont buy the cheapest milk on the shelf, encourages poor standards of care for the cows.
