Become a recycling volunteer at Waitangi Day
Are you keen to do your bit towards keeping New Zealand litter and pollution free?
If want to do something positive for the environment and have a few hours free then why not become a recycling ambassador for the Waitangi Day celebrations.
CBEC EcoSolutions are keen to hear from anyone willing to volunteer at Waitangi on February 6. The recycling ambassadors will help visitors sort their rubbish into the right bins and in doing so help send out a message of the importance of minimising waste.
Environmental educator Anouk van Douzel says EcoSolutions is aiming to make Waitangi Day a zero waste event by 2020.
Zero waste maximises recycling, reduces consumption of goods creating waste and ensures all products are made to be reused, repaired or recycled back into nature or the marketplace.
"This whole system approach includes recycling but is not limited to it," she says. "The successfulness of the day relies almost fully on the volunteers who are willing to give a few hours of their time."
Van Douzel says the group has managed to divert many tonnes of recycling and food waste from land fills over the years they have been attending the event.
Training and lunch are provided, as is transport to and from the event or fuel costs can be reimbursed if this is more suitable. Phone 09 438 8710 or 027 254 5462.
