Many people visiting the island are not aware of Waiheke’s reliance on rain water, our typical summer droughts, or even how to minimise water use… But most respond positively, when they learn of the local situation, and play their part in conserving water. So Project Forever Waiheke has put together a selection of various-sized water wisdom signs and notices that can be put up near taps, or even sent out to visitors before they arrive, letting them know how they can help the island get through the summer without the kind of crisis that we experienced in December 2017. You can choose from ‘carrots’ or ‘sticks’, serious messages or humour, and ready-made signs that you can print and post on walls, or do-it-yourself options that can include your own messages. Choose from colour or black and white versions. Go here for signs!
A community-led initiative committed to developing sustainable community and tourism strategy for Waiheke Island, and to monitoring tourism impacts.
