An online Zero Waste movement is here giving busy people the tools to reduce their environmental impact and live more sustainably. Tauranga City Council is giving 100 Tauranga residents free access to the next round of ‘Zero Waste Living for Everyday People’ online training, starting on Monday, June 19, thanks to funding from their Resource Wise Community Fund.
Council’s sustainability and waste manager Dan Smith is encouraging residents to sign up soon to avoid disappointment.
Course founder, Nicola Turner from Mainstream Green says “the free online course is a super easy way to get started on your sustainability journey and will arm you with lots of easy ways to reduce your waste at home”. Other modules explore the basics of recycling and provide tips and inspiration to help you find simple ways to reduce waste throughout your home.
The online course starts on Monday, June 19, and will run for six weeks. Modules will be released weekly, and you can work through them at your own pace, from the comfort of your own home.
If you have an idea to help reduce waste in our community, applications for this year’s Resource Wise Community Fund are open until 4pm, Friday, June 9.
