Keep Mangonui Ataahua

Mangonui is a lovely place to live. This is why l strongly agree that we need to keep it ataahua. We need to stop littering, because the plastic that we throw away is not biodegradable and will be around literally forever! One of the ways you can stop pollution is to say “no” to plastic bags and buy our multiple use paper and t-shirt bags.

Remember the long trip in the bus,when we just had to lie there in the seat all day? Remember when we rolled down the soft green grass, on the hill and ran around like crazy?

That was Waitangi

Remember programming the robots dash one, and dash two when we were making a movie about Moehuri?  Remember the taste of the brownie,apple,and cheese sandwiches that we had for lunch?

That was Waitangi.

At Mangonui Harbour not far from the shore, I can hear the waves crashing against the jagged rocks like a crash landing plane and the squawking of seagulls. In the meantime I can see the seaweed swaying soundlessly  in the rippling water and little fish like light reflecting off a mirror swimming, coming in with the waves who will devour your leftovers before you can say “oh cute look at the little fish!”

I feel sad though because I can see rubbish tin cans left by people that have been washed up by the jagged rocks and the smell is quite revolting, a bit like rotten, slimy, smelly aglae.

The view of the harbour is astonishing, it’s peaceful, beautiful and calm and when I take a look it makes me feel nice and calm and relaxed
