On Friday the 16th of September, the For the Future group met up with Steven Joyce, Minister for Tertiary Studies.
We met in the Alfriston College staffroom. This is where we presented our presentation to him.
We shared what our inspiration was for us to do this project, which was the large amount of plastic and waste human produce, and since it is not take care of properly it ends up in our oceans, which can harm marine life. We also informed him about the 'The Great Pacific Garbage Patch' and how it has formed.
We also explained why we chose plastic as the material we were going to use.
We explained the purpose of our project and how it will benefit us and the community.
We were thrilled to meet with Minister Joyce, to share our view with him and help spread the awareness against the amount of waste in the world and the damage it is causing.
Did you know?
Auckland produces enough waste to fill up 100 metres x 70 metres x 20 metres rugby field EACH WEEK!
This is what cannot be recycled, this is the amount produced by Auckland alone every week. Imagine the amount produced worldwide.
