Hutt proposes an environmental centre

Lower Hutt is considering establishing an EnviroHouse in the old caretakers house by the Dowse over bridge.  It aspires to be a place were you can find practical tools and advice on areas such as power saving, gardening and saving water.    You can meet with like-minded people to start projects, hear speakers or share tips.

Many other councils have environment centres.  Nelson, Waitakere, Tauranga, Hawkes Bay, the Far North region to name a few.  They offer:

• Information, education and courses
• Library
• Wormfarms and composting solutions
• Advice on permaculture and organic gardening
• Sustainable business information
• A venue for sustainable workshops
