Loved the delivery and the introduction to some of the resources made from reused recycling and materials. The children loved trying them out and were really engaged.
A key part of the programme has always been taking the message beyond the classroom. Children are encouraged to share what they learn with their families, creating lasting behaviour change in homes and communities. By helping young people understand the connection between natural resources, consumption and waste, Zero Waste Education empowers the next generation to become environmental leaders.
Today, Zero Waste Education is funded by councils throughout New Zealand, primarily through waste levy funding. This support allows schools to receive the programme free of charge while helping communities reduce waste and move towards a more sustainable future.
