Arts + Climate Innovation: Dry Waters

by Track Zero

Arts + Climate Innovation: Dry Waters

Art and Science Talk

Free event
Location: Goethe Institut, Wellington
View Map

Together with expert climate scientist Prof. Tim Naish (Victoria University), Track Zero ran a workshop on climate science, oceans & climate impacts in the Pacific region for a talented group of global and local Wellington artists involved in the climate-art project, ‘Dry Waters’. The cross-cultural group came together for three intensive days in February 2019 to co-create art works shown at The Performance Arcade (festival of live art and music on Wellington’s waterfront). Curated by Berlin-based No Boundaries e.V. presents, the project was hosted in Aotearoa by the Goethe-Institut New Zealand. As part of the project, Track Zero ran a public talk, ‘Arts + Climate Innovation: Dry Waters’ that brought artists and a climate scientist together to discuss the powerful role arts can play in inspiring climate action.

Have your say on the Government’s ‘TRANSFORMIN Have your say on the Government’s ‘TRANSFORMING RECYCLING’ proposals!
Te kimi whakaaro mō te panoni i te hangarua! 
Closes 22 May
Too much rubbish is ending up in landfills and our environment adding to climate change, harming our waterways and oceans, and losing valuable resources and business opportunities.
There are 3 proposals:
1. Intro a beverage container return scheme (CRS) by 2025 (when you buy a drink you pay a deposit that you get back when you return the empty container. This is expected to lift container return rates to 85% or more. In a CRS, beverage producers pay the costs of collecting, transporting and processing the containers – part of 'product stewardship').
2. Standardise kerbside recycling collections across Aotearoa NZ  and start collecting food scraps (by 2030 at the latest).
3. Require all businesses to separate their food scraps from their general waste (by 2030 at the latest).
MAKE A SUBMISSION 📝
Head to the @environmentgovtnz website - make a quick submission on any or all of the proposals or a detailed submission.

We only recycle and compost about 1/3rd of the materials we place out on the kerbside and 2/3rds go to landfills. This is reversed in high-performing countries where they recycle 2/3rds and landfill only 1/3rd. This is a big opportunity to do better!
