Conservation Week: Reuse to Reduce Market

History

In partnership with Grey Lynn 2030 Waste Away, and as part of Conservation Week, Auckland Zoo held a Reuse to Reduce Market.

Conservation Week theme in 2014 was ‘discover the world where you live’ and the market’s aim was to get people thinking and looking at ways to help keep the world on our doorstep beautiful.

According to Zero Waste New Zealand, surveys show that 30% to 50% of inorganic material is reusable or recyclable.

Money raised during the market will go to Auckland Zoo conservation.

On the day there will be stalls with local businesses talking about their products which are all made from and inspired by reused materials.

Information will also be available about the many conservation projects Auckland Zoo is involved in.
