Kate Meads was recently labelled New Zealand's own waste free warrior and is a very humorous and motivating speaker.
Drawing from her own experiences as a typical modern day consumer Kate shares her stories
and insights to create a greater awareness of the choices we are making and the impacts they are having.
If we all do nothing because it seems like we
are not making a difference, nothing will ever
change and we have to question what legacy
will we leave our future generations.

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
We are at a critical crossroads when it comes to the
planet, the environment and sustainability. We are
known as clean, green New Zealand, but sadly the latest
statistics in the amount of waste we are producing
collectively as a country, tells a different story. People
from around the world come to visit our country, but
at a rapid rate, our waste consumption figures are
skyrocketing.
But there is hope on the horizon, and we have the
opportunity to rectify this together.
As a local business owner, you no doubt care deeply
about our beautiful country. We can all play a role in the
reduction of waste and by-products of waste together.
There has never been a more critical time to do our part.

Meads, you will learn about the importance of reducing
our overall waste footprint, and discuss great initiatives
with staff and management within your business. The
workshop will be enlightening, impactive, interactive, fun
and not just life changing, but waste changing!
Let's come together, and get the conversation started
on how we can keep New Zealand beautiful. We can be
leaders in change, together!
