From the Resene News – issue 4/2004 Fish fan - Stormwater and chemicals
Auckland schools were invited to take part in a painting competition to decorate stormwater drains within each school's grounds with safety messages warning about the risk to fishlife should chemicals or other such materials be disposed of down the drain. Armed with Resene Lumbersider satin acrylic, teams of students from all over Auckland got busy, painting signage around literally hundreds and hundreds of drains. A clever way to combine education and creativity, the newly decorated drains are getting their share of attention from all those who pass near them, subtly reinforcing the drains to stream message on a daily basis. Organiser: Martin Pepperell, Auckland City Council (www.arc.govt.nz). |
