Rangatahi

A nationwide, photography project for young people, focussing on climate change.

Good storytelling can change minds. The power of a photograph lies in the way it engages our imagination and involves us in an unfolding story.

Te werowero – The challenge

Confronted by the scale of waste metal during our field trip with Naenae College, Annie (foreground) and Iona’s expression speak to the weight of the issue around us, the wasteful behaviours, and the reality of how much needs to change in order for us to tackle climate change.

E tipu e rea – Grow up tender young shoot

While it’s critical to confront the scale of climate change, and see what work needs to be done, many of the tools and solutions are already in our hands. The seeds of knowledge and the skills that go with them are how we support our future generations to be prepared and live differently to previous generations. For tangata whenua, these skills are connected to our whakapapa, our identity, and are the best starting point for climate change solutions.

Ebb and flow

There is a simple beauty in the way water flows and runs along our coastlines, an ebb and flow reminiscent of the Moana Oceania concept of ‘Alofa Mai, Alofa Atu’ – Love Given, Love Received.
We care for the oceans, rivers, lakes and streams and they will care for us. Their health is tied to our wellbeing as humans and the larger story connected to our ever fragile climate.

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. 
HELPFUL RESOURCES 💥
Check out handy resources prepared by zero waste experts to help see where the thinking is at and maybe take some ideas for your submission.  Here’s a couple of examples, amongst others:

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!
