Earth day 22nd April 2017.
Hi neighbours,
Once again, Friends of Waitoetoe Park with total support from Palmerston North City Council and Horizons will be hosting a planting and mulching of trees at Waitoetoe Park from midday to 2.30 p.m. The theme this year is education about climate change so we are hoping that the kindergartens and preschools will take part.
A free sausage sizzle, free fruit, hummus and vegetable crudites will be available to be enjoyed. Will go ahead regardless of weather !!
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.
