...Army do an amazing job in our community but right now their resources are absolutely stretched in the Canterbury area," Mayor Brian Robson said. "the entire month of may has been dedicated to the annual red shield appeal but this weekend is the chance for most local residents to help make a difference by getting involved in the red shield appeal doorknock. "on friday i will be joining hazem el masri for a red shield appeal doorknock fundraising breakfast then on saturday and sunday the doorknock volunteers will be out inin force across the city. "i have a long association with the salvos and the red shield appeal and i know our community will pull together in what is a time of need for too many of our residents. "it's is sad to know that many local residents, of all nationalities and religious beliefs who visit the salvation army, regularly go without the basic necessities. "the need for funds is greater than ever and a dollar or two can make a lot of difference to the services the salvation army offer and those that they help. "to make that happen they need 100,000 volunteers across the country knocking on as many doors as possible. "volunteers are the lifeblood of the salvation army's red shield appeal doorknock because they help raise vital funds for the running of the salvation army's vast network of social services. "if you can't volunteer, keep a lookout for doorknockers over the weekend, give generously and help make a difference to the lives of those who need it most," the mayor said. all volunteer collectors must be registered to participate in the doorknock. you can register online at salvationarmy.org.au or by phoning the volunteer hotline 13 salvos (13 72 58). a local doorknock co-ordinator will then contact you closer to the time and give you information about arrangements in your area. online registrations will close on thursday 23rd of may at 4"

...always act with the environment in mind, but this week it is worth extra thought as we celebrate World Environment Day," Mayor Brian Robson said. "the theme for world environment day this year is "think. eat. save" and is aimed at reducing our 'food-print' and to encourage us to think about the impact our food choices have on the environment. "in the citycity of canterbury alone, household rubbish is comprised of 42% of food waste but that is a figure we can reduce by adopting the motto "think. eat. save". "more than 800,000 tonnes of food is thrown away in nsw each year and that amounts to 315 kilograms per household or, scarily, over $100. "when that wastage goes into or red rubbish bin it ends up to landfill where it produces methane, a greenhouse gas that's 25 times more potent than the co2 from your car's exhaust. "by making informed food choices, we can reduce our food waste and ease the burden on our planet to produce food and reduce greenhouse gases. "i've spoken to many residents who are already doing their bit by buying products with less packaging, eating left overs, using re-usable shopping bags and turning the food scraps into compost for the garden. "along with these ideas, other simple things people can do to help reduce their food-print is to know how much food to cook for each person, store food appropriately to keep it fresher for longer, and always make a shopping list and stick to it. "by making some small changes like not cooking too much food, we can all make a real impact of reducing our food-print and ensure our decisions are not to the environments detriment," the mayor said. for more information on world environment day go to www.unep.org/wed/"
