keeping our community clean

On Friday the 11 of September 10R, my form class and I walked around the landscape of Kawakawa cleaning the pollution and litter that was scattered around our beautiful environment. We went for a lazy hikoi with an important kaupapa. we were tasked with picking up the litter off the streets and stopping it getting into our sacred waterways.  Personally I didn't pick up the biodegradable rubbish like food scraps for example, because overtime papatuanuku will absorb the compostable material and use the rich nutrients. I think that our teacher was teaching us about sustainability and how we could use better management systems to stop the environmental degradation and restore our community. Hopefully in the not too distant future everything will be organic and our planets inhabitants will realise that conservation of natural resources and restoration of natural landscapes is important to our planet so that we will leave a pristine world for the generations to come .
