A member from the community of Aunu'u asking a question from the action plan that was put together by facilitators that conducted the PLA Workshop on September 2009. This Action Plan include Poor Management of the Taufusi (Wetland Area), Use of Village Reef, Spring Water, Pollution, Boat Transportation and ASPA Generator. This gentleman's concern was removing the ASPA generator; they didn't want to remove the ASPA generator but to relocate it to another area because that's the only way they get power supply. One of the youth during the PLA workshop said if the ASPA can remove the generator because the generator is too close to the Aunu'u Elementary School. It's causing air pollution and also to keep the generator clean.
