Wellington City Council is once again joining the global
Plastic Free July campaign by supporting events,
organisations and initiatives to help change plastic habits
for good.
The capital has a proud history as a
frontrunner in reducing plastic by being instrumental in
ending the use of plastic straws on the waterfront, as a
driving force to get rid of single-use plastic bags, and
more recently with the introduction of a new metal
registration dog tag.

with over 326 million participants – and Aotearoa New

Protecting the environment is not easy, nor cheap. A person or entity can say they’re for environmental protection – or for a city to even have an Eco City designation – but then fail to prioritize the environment when making their choices.
In our opinion, the City of Alexandria has talked the talk but failed to walk the walk on issue after issue for some time.
In just the last few years, environmental preservation has taken a back seat when the city has made decisions about where to place the Potomac Yard Metro Station, the development of a pristine forest at Karig Estates, the chopping down of the 150-year-old pin oak at the high school and the use of destructive natural channel design to do stream “restoration” projects.
