Our Changing World: Reducing waste at Tairāwhiti Environment Centre

Claire Concannon heads to the Tairāwhiti Environment Centre to learn about their mahi, and about their neighbours – Gizzy Kai Rescue.  

This centre is one of 22 across New Zealand that falls under the umbrella of Environment Hubs Aotearoa. Each centre has the same goal of empowering the local community to create positive change for the environment.  

Tairāwhiti Environment Centre helps local community projects, and also has a drop-in hub area that people can call in to.  

Hub co-ordinator Steph Temple explains how it works.
