West Coast of the South island… on the side of the road. We were on the way to Punakaiki.

Mokihinui River, West Coast, South Island
If Meridian Energy get their way, this view will no longer exist.
Save the Mokihinui River
At the mouth of this deeply incised granite gorge, Meridian Energy has proposed a vast hydro scheme –an 85 metre high dam that would radically change this spectacular gorge.
Fourteen kilometres of gorge will disappear under 80 metres of water; 330 hectares of river bed and forest will be flooded; habitat will lost again! It’s all in the name of ‘generating more power’. Yet it’s the biodiversity and wilderness that pay the biggest cost.
Please, please join the campaign and reblog this post to raise awareness and lower the chances of Meridian being able to move forward with their plan to desecrate a spot of extreme natural beauty.

This was fun! It was a scorching hot day in Wellington and my supervisors at work let me go with another guy to be part of it ;D I’m somewhere in the right of it clutching my $3.50 vegetarian meal and trying to cheer at the same time.
