"If you recycle, you are doing your part to help save the earth," says Daniel MacKay, of the Eltham Impact Group.
With a focus on cleaning up the ocean and protecting sea animals, the Eltham Impact Group has created an eye-catching display which is being exhibited at TSB Bank Eltham.
The Eltham Impact group was formed by a group of young people at E-Town Youth in Eltham.
Impact co-ordinator Peter Heard says when the members learnt about the effects of ocean pollution on animals and humans, they wanted to change the situation. Over six months they created, and are now touring their 'Project Ocean' exhibition throughout Taranaki, "and are raising awareness and sharing solutions for bountiful, clean and healthy oceans and seas".
The display illustrates the ocean pollution problem we are facing and the Impact team's vision and solutions for a healthy ocean. The exhibition includes materials gathered by the Taranaki Conservationists group during a beach cleaning event at a Waitara Beach.
