New Zealand Thus Far


I am feeling lazy right now, have been for several days now so I am going to bullet point things I want to talk about.

Here are things I have noticed here in Auckland, New Zealand with their more advanced conservation...skills? I guess.

1. Preserved wetlands cross the harbour bridge :)
2. Auckland Zoo focuses their shows and their billboards about conservation, loss of habitat, and endangered species
3. Water is scarce here so every toilet there are two buttons, one for flushing with less water (peepee) one to flush with more water (poopoo)
4. New Zealand native animals, such as kiwi birds as well as other birds and lizards are consistently being hatched and released into wilderness, onto the secluded islands near the main island thus making their population sustainable.
