Cleaning up our Environment

The Matau Syndicate decided as part of our topic that it would be a good idea to clean up our environment.  We have been looking at Habitats and how to look after them and thought if we walked out the main gates, half of us could walk along Fergusson drive and into Stephen Street and half of us could walk down Moonshine Road then into Stephen Street collecting rubbish. We also decided to sort our rubbish into paper, plastic, glass and other.  We were really shocked at how much rubbish we collected in such a small area. If this is how much we collected just imagine how much rubbish there is on the streets of Upper Hutt.  These are the photo's we took.

Gloves, Check, Rubbish Bags, Check!

Heaps of rubbish outside the shops.

Nice work!

Rubbish down the alley way.

Wow well done Matau for doing such a great clean up but please remember to put your rubbish in the bin. Don't litter and look after out environment please.
