Keep Firework Sales
Petition to keep firework sales in New Zealand For kiwis, Guy Fawkes has become an occasion signalling the coming of summer and a chance for family and friends to get together and take in the excitement of spectacular fireworks.

Petition to Ban Single-use Plastic Straws at McDonald’s
"Plastic straws and other single-use plastics are a non-essential part of our life. Yet, they cause so much damage to the environment," Get Green Now states.

LVVTA Certification process needs to change
The LVVTA certification process for modifying vehicles needs to be changed to become more user freindly and realistic to achieve. At the moment the certification process does not take into account people wishing to drive there cars in between modifying them and the price does not reflect the time taken by certifiers to check modifications. It is in all our interests to ensure the process is safe and effective and acheivable by vechical modifiers. My plans to put foward to LVVTA and LTA -That c
