Earth Day Litter Pick Up

Written By Kim Manunui

We had a fantastic Earth Day celebration supporting Shannon from Taupō District Council with her litter pick up. Our student leaders and their families turned up with lots of other amazing volunteers from our community to clean up the lakefront and surrounding streets.

The tamariki collected buckets of sand and sifted through them to find the macroplastics hidden in the sand. These were glued to a wooden trout to become an art piece that can be used for educational purposes.

Volunteer divers in the lake sadly found syringes with needles amongst the litter covering the lake bed, and volunteers on the street collected sacks of litter including a toilet seat!

Thank you to Shannon for organising the event (and cooking awesome Earth Day pancakes) and to everyone who , came along to support it, including Tidy Taupo, Huka Honey Hive, Waikato Enviroschools, Taupō EEC and Miraka Limited

We also created this Earth Day Challenge for anyone who wanted ideas of what they could do with their class or family for Earth Day.

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project.  Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

If you have an audience and market to reach, we can make that happen. Creative design, words that work and smart behind the scenes stuff that cuts through the online noise. We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
and we’ll manage your social media presence so you get the clicks, likes and engagement to grow your business. All within the budget you set, because none of this needs to cost the earth.  And the job doesn’t stop when your website goes live. We are your virtual business partner.
