In return I will maintain the section in neat vegetables, one box of vegetables for you once available as well as helping local day care and schools when visiting.
Any funds will go toward the setting up a Trust.
The Trust’s mission (once incorporated) is to restore New Zealand to a pristine state, mitigating man’s impact on the environment we cohabitate in.
The organization will be a charitable trust, to re establish an abundance of flora and fauna, bringing our urban areas to life, encouraging our native species to thrive. While reducing carbon, heavy metals and discarded litter from our streams, fisheries and oceans.
The Trust has a focus on secondary research, looking at factors that effect the environments around us and resolving issues that can be mitigated. Then producing frameworks for educational programs and news groups inline with the Trusts goals.
This will be achieved, by giving warm dry safe home improvements, with good pressured hot water, filter gutters and safe rain harvested, UV, triple filtered garden, drinking water and solar 2 hot water.
The Trust will create charitable funds for use by charities and schools, through it's services to homes, when they make available the “Responsible Homes” package to the community.

"There's so much food and stuff gone, but we're alive - that's the main thing," says Kaikoura resident Diane Edkins (pictured) who finds out whether her house is given the all-clear while a Red Cross volunteer is with her: www.redcross.org.nz...
