Kiwi Can

LI : To respect others for their differences
Kiwi can this week was about how everyone has their own differences, and how we should respect them for that. For an example some people might not want christmas to be a holiday or to be celebrated. One way to respect someone with different customs as you, is to hold your tongue basically think before you say what you are going say to them.

We then played a game, we had to be in a duo and number ourselfs 1 or 2. 1 would have a look at person 2 to see what they looked like, they then turned around and number 2 would try and change something about them. The other person ad to try and spot the difference. The roles would then be swapped no matter if the spotter found the difference or not.

Foodprint

LI : To about business and footprint and their goal 

michael is the proud owner of foodprint. If you don't know what foodprint is, food print is environmentally friendly its goal is to solve the food waste problem in auckland and the entire world. Food is need for people to live but there are problems with how the food is produced because some countries are not able to make food or keep up with the production of food.

Countries around the world usually overproduce food. One third of food we produce is wasted, 1.3 billion tonnes of food that are fresh and still good, are sent to landfills to rot. The goal of foodprint to reduce food waste around the world. For example 20 million loaves of bread in new zealand is wasted in a single year. Food print is to make it easier for people to buy food and not let it go to waste, it is only available in auckland right now but there are 250 cafes/shops. This app took 2 years worth of planning and it was launched 6 months ago.
