NOMINATE YOUR ZERO WASTE HERO
From food to fabric, construction waste to the circular economy, and everything in between, the 2022 Tāmaki Makaurau Zero Waste Awards celebrate the mahi of those working to reduce waste to landfill across our city.
Nominations are now open until 31 August, so if you know of an unsung hero/es who should be celebrated, nominate them at ecomatters.org.nz/zerowasteawards.
EcoMatters Environment Trust is organising the 2022 awards with support from Uru Whakaaro, and in partnership with Auckland Council, as part of its aspirational goal for Tāmaki Makaurau to be zero waste by 2040.

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?
