Our environmental educators are using their
skills and growing knowledge about waste to pass on key facts and helpful ideas
to others in the community. As well as
using the forums that we have attended and created (Ambury Farm Day, Mangere
Bridge Market Day, Mangere Bridge Car Boot Sale, Goodbye Godwits), we are also
utilising our local Village Newsletter and noticeboard to get the WasteWise
message across. Our aim is to focus attention
on a couple of everyday family items rather than swamping people with
information. Through posters, such as
the one below, we are highlighting the impact of waste on our environment and
also suggesting ways that people could change their behaviour to address this
issue.

How you can help…
• Reuse your plastic bags when shopping
The next step in our
WasteWise education campaign is to make recycling easy for our residents, with
the provision of a monthly plastic bag drop off point for our community at the
Mangere Bridge Village Sunday market.
