Sustainability Gold Award
Huhana Carter (School of Maori, Social and Cultural Studies) was recgonized by the UC Sustainability Office for her efforts in Recycling Promotion and Education. Huhana has raised the profile about the issue of waste in our society through her ‘trolley’ in the Wheki ground floor. This acts as a model ‘resource exchange’ where goods are circulated within the university but also out into the wider community and even to the West Coast. Huhana has led by example with this initiative, which has captured the imaginations of many and generated a genuine change in their thinking.
