Keeping NZ Clean and Green!


What can we do to Keep   NZ Clean and Green,?
  • Reduce the amount of rubbish we use. We can do this by buying products that either don't have packaging, or less packaging, or that have Eco friendly packaging.
  • Reuse products or packaging so that we're not always buying more rubbish. So, when you go shopping, instead of consistently getting and using plastic bags for your groceries every time you could use a reusable bag.
  • Recycle all materials that are recyclable instead of throwing away the packaging or product. Give it another chance by putting it in a recycling bin.
