EnviroSchools WOW tour (World of Waste)



What a wonderful day. I was lucky enough to be involved in and support the WOW Environmental field trip. Twenty student volunteers came on this awesome adventure. We left Muritai and visited All Brites Recycling Depot to observe what is recycled and how it is processed. It was the most fascinating and intriguing place. Then after morning tea in the horticultural gardens and a quick play in the playground we went to the Silverstream Landfill to view the type and volume of waste we send to landfills, WOW alright! Then lunch at Max in Upper Hutt before going to Earthlink Facility “WastESMART” to see what can be salvaged from landfills and made useful. It was an exciting tour, all the students were inspired and full of ideas to help with Enviroschools projects of future.
