"Rubbish Roadshow" Teaches Waste Reduction
30 November 2009
A ‘rubbish roadshow’ will soon
hit the road in Hastings District, bringing tips on how to
reduce waste and save money to the residents of Hastings,
Havelock North and Flaxmere.
The Rubbish Roadshow is
a chance for families to learn about some of the easy ways
they can reduce waste, make money go further and generally
be more environmentally aware.
Special guests include
the Litter Fairy and representatives from the Hawks. The
roadshow will include performances, competitions,
educational material and a chance to speak to experts in the
field of sustainability.
Environment Enhancement
Officer Jacqui Barnes said the roadshow was a great
opportunity to spread the ‘Keep Hastings Beautiful’
message.
“The more enthusiasm we can get for keeping
our environment clean and litter-free, the better it is for
everyone who lives here. It’s even better that many waste
reduction steps will actually save you money over the course
of a year, so there’s a double incentive for
people.”
The roadshow will be in the Hastings city
centre 2-5 December, Wednesday-Friday 9.00am-5.00pm,
Saturday 9.00-12.00pm. It will visit Flaxmere from 9-12
December and Havelock North 16-19 December. More details
about these visits will be advertised closer to the
events.
