We loved hosting the UNICEF stall at our EnviroPAST Conference. Danny and the team used Virtual Reality to convey the ethos and important messages of @unicefnz and, on day two, we ran an environmental poll with U-Report New Zealand. "I thought that it was a really cool thing to include and engage people. For me it was maybe even a little bit more interesting as I had talked to the people from UNICEF the day before and done the virtual reality." - Brydie, EnviroPAST Delegate Click the link below to review our poll or try it for yourself! https://newzealand.ureport.in/poll/1063/ - In your Facebook/Messenger search bar look for U-Report New Zealand - Click to private message the chat bot - Join (Register) - answer questions about your gender, age and area - Type the trigger word “Enviro217” We are so grateful and proud to have partnered with U-Report and UNICEF New Zealand - such amazing organisations as I'm sure you'll agree! 🍀

Wow! Our biggest project for the past year has finally drawn to a close! Thank you firstly to our amazing speakers and workshop facilitators for your enthusiasm, passion and all of the good you do in our world - you are an inspiration! Thanks also to @thegrowgoodguy for being the most incredible MC. Thank you to our amazing sponsors, with particular mention to the Wright Family Foundation, and to YOU, our volunteers and attendees, for sharing your time, energy and wisdom with us. Last but not least, thank you to the amazing humans who I have had the pleasure of working with. You are beyond incredible - can't thank you enough.

📢 Speaker Alert! 📢 Helen Townsend (Founder/CEO, @rubbishwhisperer) is a #zerowaste advocate committed to helping others take their small step towards living with less #waste. In 2009, she lived in Nepal and Bangladesh for a year. In Kathmandu, she set up the herbarium digitisation programme, and in Bangladesh, she trained teachers on computer literacy. Two different countries and experiences, but there was one thing that they had in common: there was the massive amount of #rubbish on their roads and in rivers. She realised that in #NZ we were fortunate to have our rubbish conveniently taken away every two weeks, but at the same time we are never confronted with just how much waste we use. After this realisation, she knew that she needed to make a change. She started The Rubbish Whisperer in 2013. It has been quite a journey and She is always learning as she continues her mission to try and reduce the #plasticwaste in New Zealand and the rest of the world.

Happy #internationalwomensday ! To celebrate, we are annohncing our next @enviropast speaker Raquelle de Vine, Chairperson and Director of Education and Research Programmes for Algalita South Pacific. As a lover and friend of the ocean, from an early age Raquelle set her heart on protecting our oceans from the plague of plastic pollution. From reading scientific papers late into the night and dreaming of working at sea, she now has over 16000 nautical miles of blue water sailing aboard the Oceanographic Research Vessel, Alguita. On board, she is First Mate and vessel coordinator, second in charge to Captain Charles Moore, the discoverer of 'The Great Pacific Garbage Patch'. Back on shore, she has recently established a South Pacific Chapter of Algalita Marine Research and Education, Algalita South Pacific. At EnviroPAST, Raquelle hopes to share her experiences voyaging into both the North and South Pacific Gyres. Having seen the perils of plastic pollution first hand, Raquelle will help you to explore how you have the potential to make a change.
