E mōhio ana tātou katoa ki te hiranga o te wai, engari kua whakaarohia e koe tōna pūtake, me pēhea hoki e taea ai e tātou te whakarite kia ora ai tātou me te ao whānui? Whakauruhia ngā kaihoro wai! Ehara i te mea ko ēnei toa o ia rā anake e homai ana i te wai ma, whakahauora hoki, engari e āwhina ana hoki ki te tiaki i tō tātou taiao.

Ia tau, e miriona ngā pounamu kirihou e whakamahia ana, e makaia ana, e whakapokea ana ō tātou moana me ō tātou whenua. Engari mā te whakamahi i tētahi taputapu horoi wai i te kāinga, ka taea e koe te whakaiti i te whakamahinga o ngā kirihou kotahi te whakamahinga, ka āwhina i te whakaiti i ngā para me te whakaiti i tō tapuwae waro. He panoni iti tēnei e whai hua nui ana!

Ka tātarihia e ngā taputapu horoi wai ngā poke o te wai puna, kia haumaru ake ai te inu me te kore e hiahiatia he wai pounamu. Ka hoatu e rātou he wai māori tika mai i te puna, ka penapena moni māu, ā, ka āwhina hoki ki te pupuri i te ma o tō tātou ao. He painga mō te katoa: he wai māori ake māu, he Papatūānuku mā te katoa.

Nō reira, ki te mea kei te rapu koe i tētahi huarahi ngāwari ki te huri hei taiao, tīmata ki tō wai. He haumitanga taiao te parakore, he painga mōu me te ao whānui!
