Mental Health Awareness Week starts today, and for an environmental organisation, we talk about mental health and well-being a lot!

‘Eco-anxiety’ is something that more people are reporting, and it can be hard to cope with — fear of what’s happening to our environment and the feeling that it’s out of your control. Many of the SC team certainly feel it, and we all find that spending time in nature helps, no matter why we’re feeling down. You know what else helps? Doing something about the problem.

So, once lockdowns allow, we’d love you to join us at one of our events — plant a tree, clean-up some litter — reconnect with nature and like-minded people, and do something with purpose. Arohanui to all our beautiful supporters 💚💚

Happy World Rivers Day! Aotearoa’s beautiful awa

Happy World Rivers Day! Aotearoa’s beautiful awa are taonga, but sadly many of them are degraded. At SC we strive to look after our rivers, not only because they flow to the sea, but for their own sake, protecting our freshwater species and surrounding ecosystems.

Our Love Your Water tree-planting programme has seen trees planted all over Aotearoa, but now we’re zeroing in to five key catchments: Puhinui and Whau (Auckland); Waihou–Piako (Waikato); Porirua (Welly); and Waimakariri (Canterbury).

By returning to the same areas every year, we can focus on the long-term health of each catchment ecosystem through monitoring and maintenance, as well as building deeper relationships with the amazing communities in these regions. Find out more about Love Your Water at the link in our bio! 🌱🌿💧

Did you know that by 2050 plastic is expected to account for 15% of greenhouse gas emissions*

It’s Zero Emissions Day! A day to reflect on the ways we can reduce our fossil fuel consumption and make a positive climate contribution. Plastic, in particular, plays a significant role in driving the climate crisis as it is made from fossil fuels — and when plastic breaks down, it releases greenhouse gases.

We can play our part by refusing plastic where possible, reusing items and recycling when we’ve exhausted the other options. Any changes, big or small, will contribute to a healthier planet 🌏🌱

Happy International Coastal Clean-Up Day! Appropri

Happy International Coastal Clean-Up Day! Appropriately, today the Litter Intelligence programme is going international! Litter surveys are happening in Wallis and Futuna, Samoa, Vanuatu and Tonga.🌺

The surveys are part of the Sustainable Waste Actions in the Pacific project, a long-term strategy for sustainable waste management and pollution prevention. The Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme reached out to us to facilitate online citizen science training workshops, which we delivered this week (including our first workshop en français 😎🇫🇷).

We are super delighted and grateful to have been given the opportunity to not only extend our knowledge beyond Aotearoa but be a part of this great initiative. Watch this space for some Pacific litter data!
