Weekend Reflection:

This post is about if you are passionate about an issue, do something about it.

The first issue is my personal appeal. I am the self appointed spokes person for bereaved parents, For every 1000 babies born in New Zealand, eight will be stillborn. One in four pregnancies ends in miscarriage. Nearly 600 babies are stillborn or die within 28 days of birth in New Zealand every year. 4 days left to vote for this cause. I am trying to make more awareness of the plight of this poor group of people.

So please, vote for my story. There are only 4 days left. one vote per day per IP address.

Vote for my story, you can vote once a day. Voting finishes on November 15th. Thanks.




We are having our general election in a few weeks. The Greenpeace is making a stand against deep sea drilling.
The run aground tanker Rena off our coast reminded us all how damaging an oil spill can be, and how ill-prepared NZ is to cope with even a small spill - let alone a disaster like the Gulf of Mexico Deepwater Horizon blowout.

As the toxic oil washed ashore we heard Prime Minister John Key claim that there is no connection between the Rena spill and his Government's plans for risky deep sea oil drilling.

But clearly, if the deep sea drilling goes ahead and there is an accident, there would be many similarities. Oil in the water, oil on the beaches, dead and dying sea birds, poisoned seafood and huge expense to the taxpayer. Just like the Rena only on a much more devastating scale.

We can provide posters or signs and can help with installation. We can do various sized signs for grass verges, front gardens, houses, fences or walls, and we have weather-proof posters or print your own posters.
