Our sustainability decisions
These aren't paid plugs. We've analysed, tested, and compared products, considered costs, and chosen who we want to do business with. Discover the products and services we have chosen and our reasons here.
The Natural Paint Company
What we like about the Natural Paint Company are the no toxins, environmental footprint and the genuine regard for the environment. We liked it so much that we purchased a few shares when the listed the company earlier in 2024.
Before we had even purchased the section, we had paint swatches all over our dining table. Painted pieces of wood or card and trying them with each other.
As we progress with the planning we are still having fun with paint test pots for our indoor environment and look forward to knowing that the paint we choose from The Natural Paint Company won't be producing toxins while we sleep.
A 300sqm section
Located in Nga Puna Te Rerenga, Cambridge, NZ.
We have chosen to purchase a 300sqm section overlooking a small reserve of native planting. It is in a subdivision which comes with it's own design compliance requirements.
We like the planting spaces that the subdivision designers have created. We would encourage more subdivisions to have north facing sections on to shared spaces.
The section is 12m wide and 25m long. Entrance is from the south so we can fully utilise the north aspect.
We will be leaving our 795sqm property behind. Yes this means we will be closer to neighbours and have less room to kick a football. We are on board with shared spaces for kids to play and nice places to walk the dog, little lawn to look after ourselves.
