Many thanks to the many clubs that took part in project COOL. I appreciate that it did not suit all clubs but for all those that took part the South Wairarapa Rotary Club is very appreciative.
We had great support from Keep New Zealand Beautiful with the supply of litter bags and from the merchandise firms for stocking the litter bags, namely PGG Wrightson, RDI, Farmlands and CRT. We appreciate that the project was a lot to ask for new Presidents about to start their term. Also, it was a very busy time on the farming calendar. However, with the timing of the World Cup we had little option if we wished to present our country well for all our visitors.
The amount of litter on our roads was noted by the media, both radio and television. It appears that we have a "throw-away" mindset for part of our population and our roadways are one of the targets. However, it is very rewarding to see clear verges after a clean-up.
Thank you once again.
Tony Didsbury South Wairarapa Rotary Club.
