Today we're cleaning up Auckland's Browns Bay on the Hauraki Gulf / Tīkapa Moana. Why? In the gulf there's a huge number of marine species that deserve a life free of plastic pollution.

The gulf's islands are refuges for endangered birds, and in its waters you'll find many cetaceans such as bottlenose dolphins, orcas, Bryde's whales, humpbacks, and southern blue whales. Every piece of litter we remove is one less that these amazing animals have to put up with!

If you took all the gold humans have ever mined and melted it down into a cube, it would be about 20 square metres in size. Not much, eh? And every time we dispose of an electronic device in landfill, we're throwing gold away! Dispose of e-waste responsibly and donate your mobile via the @remobile.nz scheme — they send a little gold our way! 💰
