Para Kore to cut Wellington waste
Waste minimisation project Para Kore is trying to get marae in the Wellington region to sign on to the kaupapa.
Newly appointed waste advisor Te Kawa Robb says growing up on the wild south coast of Te Whanganui-a-Tara he could see the impact of the landfill at Owhiro Bay, which is recent months has caused extreme pollution in the owhiro Stream.
Para Kore advises marae and Maori organisations how to recycle and compost was to reduce the amount that ends up in the tip.
Its programme has been picked up by more than 175 marae, kohanga, kura and community groups across Aotearoa.
