Auckland action

By Annabel McAleer

Want to walk or ride across the Auckland Harbour Bridge? Join the club.

Getacross is getting active in Auckland, with 8000 supporters—and counting—for adding a cycle lane and walkway to the Auckland Harbour Bridge.

The outer lanes of the bridge (the “clip-ons”) are about to get a major upgrade, which means that cycle and walking lanes can be added. And it's now or never, reckons Getacross.

They've been campaigning for a while now, but need 2000 more sign-ups to reach the magic number (in this case, 10,000).

The Transit Board is taking it seriously, so if you've ever wanted to walk, run, ride, hop, skip or pogo your way across the Auckland Harbour Bridge, jump over to Getacross and sign up as a supporter.

Building houses, building hope

New Zealand has some of the least-affordable housing in the developed world. High rents, overcrowding and cold, damp, uninsulated homes are an everyday reality for many low-income families. Good magazine has teamed up with Habitat for Humanity to help families help themselves into new housing.

Inside the magazine is an 8-page supplement to promote Habitat for Humanity in New Zealand. And for the next two months, Good will donate $9 from each one-year subscription to Habitat for Humanity, and $16 from each two-year subscription.
