Nga Hoa o Te Taiao Marae is committed to sustainability and reducing the environment impact of our operations. We encourage all users of the marae to actively support our efforts to minimise waste, use energy and water efficiently and purchase environmentally preferable products for use at the marae.
Your care and cooperation will help contribute to the conservation of natural resources, to the health of the environment and to a bright future for our mokopuna .
1.
Waste Minimisation Facilities
Our policy is to send as little waste as possible to landfill due to the negative environmental effects. We aim to recycle and compost as much as we can as this recovers valuable resources for re-use.
As a user of the marae, you can help us minimise waste to landfill by:

reducing the amount of waste and non-recyclable packaging you bring with you

ensuring products are either recyclable or compostable

encouraging your group to follow our Para Kore systems (outlined in the marae facilities manual). This includes information about what is recyclable and compostable and how to use the bins.

2.
Energy and Water Conservation
As a venue for large events we recognise that our marae can use significant amounts of electricity and water. We strive to reduce the environmental impacts associated with these services through efficient products and promoting conservation. Your group can support us by:
 switching off lights and heaters when not in use
 encouraging short showers and conservative hot water usage
 using water carefully in the bathrooms and kitchens
 using our dual flush options in the wharepaku
