New
Drums for Outer Islands
Mangaia,
Mitiaro, Pukapuka and Rakahanga will soon be receiving 55 gallon
blue drums as part of REAP's "Help Keep Our Island Clean" campaign.
The
drums have been donated by Anchor Milk-New Zealand and shipped
freight-free from Auckland to Rarotonga by REEF Shipping.
They
will be transported to the Outer Islands courtesy of Taio Shipping
and the Miss Mataroa Shipping.
Once
they reach their destinations, REAP's Environmental Rangers
will paint environmental themes on the drums as part of their
island environmental awareness efforts.
The
island of Pukapuka recently received 20 drums courtesy of the
Ministry of Works as the island prepares for the Purapura Games
later this year. Freight-free shipping to Pukapuka was provided
by Taio Shipping.
