Waste Free Parenting
Nineteen people attended the Waste Free Parenting workshop on 4 March. Feedback indicated the
workshop was well received with 70.6% of attendees rating the workshop highly.
Of the attendees, many committed to making changes to
decline.
The most notable change in livestock numbers in Taranaki
has been the significant long-term reduction in beef cattle
and sheep. As of 2019, there were 28% fewer cattle (-49,244)
and 68% fewer sheep (-933,407) in Taranaki compared to
1990. Since 2014, these numbers have continued to decline,
although at a reduced rate of -4% and -12%, respectively.

the past decade. Changes
in river water temperature are more subtle, while air and
soil temperatures have risen sharply, with soil temperature
increasing at a rate of around 1.4°C per decade. Changes
over 10 to 15 year periods are affected by long-term climate
trends as well as changes due to shorter climatic cycles,
such as the El Niño-Southern Oscillation. An assessment
of cold temperature trends for air, soil and river water
suggests that in coming years we can

education programme; and to broaden and deepen its relationship with iwi and hapū.
