Our next beach clean up is coming up: 27 February, 2 - 3pm at the Kakanui Beach Reserve.
Why are these important? Think of the beach as a bridge between the land & the marine environment. Cleaning our beaches is a step towards cleaning our oceans. whitestonegeopark.nz/beach-cβ¦

Reducing the planetβs emissions means every country doing its fair share.
Our Chair, Rod Carr, has this message:
"Countries that emit more, that have technology choices available, and higher income than average - such as New Zealand - should do more than the average country".

With help from some awesome Butt Touchers, we spent 2 lunch breaks sweeping the streets of Welly picking up ciggy butts. Together, we picked up over 10,000 ciggy butts.
FYI - 1 butt in a litre of water is enough to kill a fish. #Seaweek #Wellington @OSOFNZ @nzaeeseaweek
