Tip no waste!
THIS WAS the message that Tauranga school students left around the intakes to the stormwater drains of the city during Conservation Week in August. Forest and Bird field officer Ann Graeme who organised the stencilled warnings said that many people were unaware that stormwater drains in the area led directly into the harbour and they continued to tip pollutants such as paint solvents and sump oil down them. Ann has organised other school groups, local KCC members and the Conservation Corps to continue the sidewalk spraying as an ongoing project. Students will also organise a survey among fellow students to gauge the effectiveness of the signs.
