Get Sustainable Challenge Awards The presentation ceremony for the Get Sustainable Challenge was held on 31 August at the City Gallery. Around 140 people attended. Cr Turver, who was one of the judges, spoke on behalf of Greater Wellington and Cr Buchanan presented the premier award (the Trailblazer Award). The winners were: Remarkit Solutions (Explorer category) Absolutely (Emerging category) Alto Design (Innovation category) YHA Wellington (Trailblazer category). YHA Wellington won the Trailblazer Award after demonstrating that sustainability was core to its operations - not an add-on. The hostel’s work towards sustainability includes reducing energy use and waste water, recycling and re-use initiatives, sponsoring community projects, and using only environmentally-friendly cleaning products. Responsibility for sustainability is spread across all staff and management. It is also a responsible employer - providing good workplace conditions and offering training opportunities. The judges said “staff commented that this was the best place they’d ever worked.” The other awards recognised the efforts of businesses that are at an earlier stage in the sustainability journey. Absolutely.co.nz won the Emerging Award; open to businesses that are formally planning to improve their sustainability. Initiatives undertaken by the website design and build company included using public transport to get to client meetings and giving staff paid time off to do community work. Remarkit Solutions won the Explorer Award, for those who’ve just begun to tackle the environmental and social impact of their operations.

Conservation Week The week of the 6th to the 12th of August was Conservation Week. The Department has been involved in a number of activities in support of this. Conservation Week was launched by the Minister of Conservation at Pataka Museum in Porirua. Pataka was the venue for “Our Big Backyard” a week long programme of events with a conservation theme, including activities for schools and children. A display promoting Take Action was in place for the week, alongside another by the Biosecurity Department relating to pest plants. Displays promoting care groups were also mounted at Parliament for the Conservation Awards and at the usual Conservation Week venue in the Wellington Cathedral. The Wellington Conservancy of the Department of Conservation ran a programme for schools promoting conservation at Catchpool Valley, which we funded St Bernadette’s School to attend. This school is working with us on Take Action at present. Students undertook classroom activity, a bush walk, and some planting during their visit to Catchpool. 2. Conservation Awards A school, individuals, and care groups working with Greater Wellington were recognised at the 2006 Conservation Award ceremony duing Conservation Week. Kenakena School won the Young Conservationist Category for its long term environmental education focus and, in particular, its contribution over eight years to the restoration of the Mauapoko Stream at Greendale Reserve in Kapiti.

  • Environment Education Department Report – May 2006
    Attachment 1 to Report 06.178 Page 1 of 37 Geoff Skene Manager, Environment Education Environment Education Department Report – May 2006 1. Envirosmart In the last year we have been developing some new tools for businesses which want to move beyond mere compliance to a broader approach to business sustainability. There are plenty of businesses which want to embrace more thorough-going environmental practices such as cleaner production, recycling, waste minimisation, energy efficiency and so on. One of the new tools we offer is the Get Sustainable Challenge (see below), and another is the service for office based companies wanting to recycle and reduce their waste (see the report on the Majestic Centre). A third tool is “Envirosmart”, a new national programme for businesses that want to go beyond compliance and achieve a recognised accreditation for their level of environmental performance. In association with Wellington, Porirua, and Hutt City councils, we are assisting around 55 businesses to join this programme over the next three years (it is most applicable to manufacturing businesses) and learn how to reduce their solid waste, use energy, water, and other raw materials more efficiently, develop sustainable procurement policies, and adopt environmental policies to guide their operations. The programme provides successful businesses with the Enviromark Gold accreditation. Envirosmart was launched in Auckland at the end of February. In our region, costs are shared between Greater Wellington, contributing local councils, central government, and the businesses participating. The programme is delivered by Landcare Research. Recruitment of businesses has commenced and is progressing well. It is expected that the quota of businesses for the first year will soon be filled.
