On #ZeroWasteDay, remember not to send your kindness to the landfill.
❎There are many reasons why donated goods sent to help may be deemed unusable on arrival at ports➡️ eventually ending up in landfill.

Make sure your donations make the biggest impact! 🫶 Civil Defence Emergency Management Groups ask that people do not donate goods and instead donate directly to relief funds.

Donate Responsibly was set up after Cyclone Pam & Winston, we saw tonnes of donations not needed, having to be sorted & disposed of - this took time away from the actual response. Now in my home, Hawke's Bay, these messages apply. Please donate responsibly. @NZRedCross

Our hearts go out to those affected by the earthquakes in Turkiye & Syria.
Take a moment to advise your community about how to make the greatest impact when donating.
By supporting organisations with cash, help is more immediate & exact.

After a disaster, a cash donation has many benefits for the affected communities.
Cash also helps rebuild lives, restores dignity & boosts the local economy. #DonateResponsibly
