Care For Our Coast Programme:
It has been a marvelous summer in New Zealand this year and beaches, lake and river edges have been well utilised. The Care for our Coast programme is a chance to remind all those 'coast goers' to care for their local environment. The primary school resource, developed in 2007, has gone to schools nationwide and will be implemented in the classroom over the year to help with coastal awareness for younger generations.
Youth Environment Forum:
This annual event, in partnership with the Ministry for the Environment, will be held 27th April - 1st of May in Wellington. There will be an exciting line up of environmental activities and projects for the delegates. All sixteen regional councils in New Zealand are invited to select three young environmental leaders (15-17yrs) to represent their region at this national forum. For selection details, contact your regional council, Contact details are available: ::log on to the Trust website::
Green tip for the month
www.blackle.com is an alternative google search engine that uses less power. It produces a black screen instead of the traditional google white screen. There are also some interesting power saving tips on the blackle site - give it go!
Kind regards,
Vicki, Laura and Lisa
