Sewage

So apparently Sydney dumps “filtered”but essentially untreated sewage into the ocean?

Yuk.

Wellington is far from perfect, but is currently spending vast sums to improve it’s current treatment and to treat the sludge byproduct created by treatment.

I know where I’d rather live.

I am endlessly grateful to live in Pōneke.

Glorious morning

A very Hōkio Xmas 🎄
