Improve water quality and preservation.
Improve recycling.
Improve waste minimisation and management.
Invest in the monitoring of water quality in our waterways, rather than rely on modelling and assumptions to inform decision-making.

Support catchment group work already in place in Manawatū and Rangitīkei to improve water quality of our rivers.
Create a united working party between regional and district councils, Department of Conservation and community to work together to control noxious weeds and pests.
Educate businesses and individuals to minimise waste. Continue the project already in place by Manawatū District Council to minimise waste going to landfill.
