Many across our community are working to make a difference for our natural environment.
The focus of Wai Wanaka are our natural waters – our lakes, rivers, streams and wetlands. We are now aware that plastics, in particular micro plastics, are find their way into these waters.
A small way we can help is reducing the use of throwaway plastics, in particular the single use coffee cup.
In response Wai Wanaka have available ceramic and metal cups that can be used over and over together with stands and box’s to display and store then in. They are available for use at the many events held in Wanaka and across the Upper Clutha.
The MenShed team have helped in this work. Some months ago we designed and built the stands and this week we built some wooden storage box’s for the cups.
Not a huge job, but it makes a difference.
