Last Thursday an amazing group of students from our 3 enviro groups went to a council meeting with a proposal. They want toileting facilities in Kitchener Park. They spoke beautifully with a lot of knowledge and clear, thought out justifications for this spending.
They must have been amazing because as reported on Stuff and in the Feilding Herald the council has agreed with the proposal and are now starting the process to implement composting toilets.
Way to go MSS Enviro groups, well done!

Excerpts from the article:
Manchester Street School's green team, consisting of nine pupils, have taken their views to the Manawatu District Council in a bid to get a public toilet installed at Kitchener Park.
They have the backing of the community, with the council receiving seven submissions to build a toilet at the park, and no-one against the concept.
Georgia Palmer, 8, said other groups that regularly visited the park would also benefit.
"We would like to do more planting at the park next term when it is the right time to plant trees," she said. "We can never stay long because we need toilets and there is nothing at the park for us and all our parent helpers to use.
"We love Kitchener Park. Lots of us visit with our families and we always look for places we have planted trees."
Something as simple as a unisex portaloo would suffice, Georgia said.
