Daniel Morrimire (Morri), Environment Network Manawatu Part 3 - Manawatu Conversations

Description

Broadcast on Manawatu People's Radio, 24th March 2026. Part 3 of 3.
Morrie explains the wide scope of Environment Network Manawatū’s work.
 Food sovereignty is one focus, but not the only one.
 Circular economy projects play a major role.
 Repair cafés help fix items instead of sending them to landfill.
 These cafés save resources, money, and significant carbon emissions.
 Monthly sessions involve volunteers with many practical skills.
 Stream clean-up kits help stop plastic reaching rivers and the sea.
 Community groups and businesses borrow the kits to volunteer locally.
 Food waste reduction is tackled through the nationwide Every Bite project.
 People learn simple habits to waste less food at home.
 Biodiversity work includes river catchment collaboration and predator control.
 All projects link environmental action with community wellbeing.
