Ecology Action.

Ecology Action has organised activity groups. Each group will have its own special sphere of activity.

The Population Control Group is to investigate the optimum population level for New Zealand & methods for maintaining this level, is to forward remits to Parliament, and is to educate on a nation-wide level on problems of population control. (Convenor, Keith de Ridder 757-706.)

Similarly, The Biocide Group is to educate people in the use of chemicals and its investigations of negligent companies are to be followed by all possible means of action. (Convenor, Dave Keffy, 45-060, ext. 706.)

The Urban Development Group will investigate transport, congestion, housing & location problems in Wellington and environs. (Convenor, Roger Morris, 769-461.) Tahiti Bay sewerage disposal and Wainuiomata river pollution will be the subjects of immediate research by the Water Pollution Group (Convenor Stephen Gale 769565), while the Scenery & Wildlife Preservation Group will tackle a proposed M.O.W. encroachment on a native bush reserve near Silversteam. (Convenor Liz Wilkin [unclear: 03]-074) Both groups will study specific problems in the Wellington area and both see the collection of reliable information on their respective problems as being most important.

The Air Pollution Group like the other groups will investigate and act on controversial local issues. (Convenor, Graham Hardy. 6-040, ext. 659.)

Because of numbers involved it is not possible for people to be permanent members of more than 1 group but they may attend meetings of other groups it they wish.

People interested in joining a group can ring its convenor. Meetings will probably be held weekly.
