Pipiri Ki A Papatūānuku (PKP) started in 2017. Their mission is to raise awareness around the state of our taiao (our environment), both here in Aotearoa (New Zealand) and around the world.
PKP is a social movement lead by rangatahi Māori (young people) that is raising awareness and engaging people to make environmentally sustainable choices in their everyday lives.
There are 9 options to pursue in this initiative. Three learnings for food, three for waste, and three for plastics.
In Aotearoa, one of our biggest contributors to climate change is agriculture. Pipirikia papatūānuku recommends minimising your consumption of industrially farmed meats (meat from the supermarkets).
In Aotearoa, the biggest pollutant of our awa (rivers) is dairy farming. Cows were the first tool of colonisation in Waikato that continue to pollute our waterways today.
There is a lot of kai that does tūkino (harm) to our taiao. Mainly trawled fish from our moana (ocean), land degradation and polluted waterways due to agriculture, and deforestation from palm oil.
There's a common misconception that if you put your kai (food) into the rubbish bin, it's going to go back to the whenua (land) where it will magically biodegrade. That does not happen. Organic matter in landfill turns into leachate - a poisonous liquid that pollutes our waterways.
This is a big issue that not only affects our taiao (environment), but also impacts people's lives around the world.
Plastic waste enters our sea, breaks down into micro plastics, is eaten by fish, and is then eaten by us. We are eating plastic.
Most of the time, when you walk through the supermarket, items comes in packaging.
Choose one thing in your everyday to reuse:
The majority of households in Aotearoa don't recycle properly.
