Hi,
We all try to do our best with recycling, especially when it comes to plastics. But there's been a lot of comments recently about the damage that's being done in Malaysia and Indonesia by imported plastics just being dumped or burned.
Porirua City Council exports all plastic recycling to Malaysia and Indonesia. We recycle cardboard, aluminium and glass in NZ.
I don't want to be responsible for ruining lives and ecosystems in another country so I am asking our local MP, Chris Faafoi, what plans the government has to recycle our plastic in our country.
What do you think?

Working with habitat design experts, we’ve incorporated more climbing structures, hammocks and ropes than ever! These features aim to improve the Chimps wellbeing and encourage natural behaviours through environmental complexity.

There’s also a new immersive glass viewing area to help people connect with the Chimps and a new children’s playground, inspired by Chimps and how they play. Come to hang with the Chimps at Wellington Zoo for the grand opening of the Chimp Park and learn how you can make a difference to Chimpanzees in the wild.
