The Environmental Kiwi is a space where curious Kiwi’s like yourselves can learn more about environmental issues, eco-friendly living, and what you can do to help.
Let’s face it, maybe the “she’ll be right” laid back Kiwi attitude, just isn’t cutting it anymore. For years I have been passionate about creating environmental awareness within my inner circle, but now it’s time to expand that circle and reach out to connect with more people. It all started when we were shown a documentary called ‘The Cove’ in Year 10 Geography, it’s a film about the yearly dolphin slaughter happening in Taiji, Japan. Little did I know, I was in for a reality check – welcome to the real world. The footage is raw and graphic, as it needed to be to shock people into change, it shows what really goes on behind closed doors. However, this only made me want to learn more about what was going on in the world, why it was happening, and how it could be changed.
This journey has now lead us here, to The Environmental Kiwi. Hopefully The Environmental Kiwi will be a way to educate and share knowledge, as well as to inspire change. I deeply encourage you to not just take what is said in my posts at face value, but instead, to take from these ideas and build your own understanding of them through your own research. I’m definitely not an expert, I’m just a girl with a passion trying to make her voice heard in this big bad world. I’m still learning, and that’s okay, we all are. Even the ‘small’ changes we make in our everyday lives can have a large impact if more people take action, and I’m here to remind you that no change is ever too small.
