COMMUNITY PROJECT #418 - ZERO-WASTE MARAE INITIATIVE
Mission Statement:
To restore the sacred integrity of our marae by transitioning to zero-waste operations through composting, reusable systems, and conscious stewardship.
The Needs Assessment:
Currently, many marae are forced into a "high-entropy" waste cycle, importing plastics and disposables for large events that end up in landfills. This is a "thermodynamic leak" that costs money and creates ecological "disorder" (entropy), which is fundamentally at odds with the concept of the marae as a place of Mauri Ora.
