Forest & Bird Local Branch Meeting & Guest Speaker
For our next branch meeting our guest speaker will be Des Ratima Deputy Chair of Biodiversity Hawkes Bay, whose topic will be ‘Kaitiakitanga v Ownership':
In the world of te taiao it is the responsibility to te taiao that is important, not the exploitation of te taiao. Having sustainable practices and mutual reciprocity between the requirements of man v the needs of Te Taiao. This is an inherent requirement of a kaitiaki.
Where: St Marks Hall, on the Corner of Queen St East and Park Rd North, Hastings
When: 7.30pm on Thursday 11th March 2021
ALL WELCOME
Note: As long as Covid-19 remains at level 2 for the Hawkes Bay, we will be proceeding with the monthly branch meeting and observing the appropriate protocols. If there is any change, we will notify you prior to the meeting.
Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
