Thanks, good to be here.
Okay, yeah, cool.
I think it was episode two, I might have been on so a wee while ago.
Um yeah, so I've got a background in teaching and a passion for for the environment, um particularly around waste.
And so my role is uh waste minimization and education advisor, bit of a mouthful, and that is for EnviroNZ.
who service the Dunedin City Council with curbside uh recycling and waste.
And um really I just get in front of any group, whether it's schools or community groups, um, businesses, to promote waste minimization and also um to clarify things around the curbside system, but not solely that.
Oh well, probably too many and I'll I'll miss some.
But um you know, s so many groups.
Like r recently just chatting with one of the the sheds, the Tairi um shed out there, I think maybe the men's shed, but they're not solely men.
Um and just uh like the the passion, the grassroots work, the volunteerism, uh if that's a word, um just all
of that kind of work that's just doing little bits um all across the city.
So I guess I was gonna shout out a few.
I I wrote a few down, but like I say, um apologies to those I haven't don't mention.
But places like um Comtu Tech, you know, who are doing not only recycling but they're looking up that waste hierarchy, which is something I think I talked about the first time I visited.
Um
where you're looking to make the biggest impact.
So not just recycling something, but seeing if there's a repair or a reuse or or something like that.
What?
