Congratulations to Year 9 student Anna Lightbody, who was recently named Runner Up in the Rangatahi section of the Tāmaki Makaurau Zero Waste Awards.

Anna was highly commended by judges for her work which could reduce material going to landfills. Anna is helping reduce clothing waste by repurposing unusable garments into crochet baskets and pet beds. Earlier this year, Anna successfully ran a series of trial workshops with Tāmaki WRAP for kids aged 11 to 13, and now plans to expand her workshops, aiming to significantly reduce clothing waste in her community.

A fantastic result Anna! We are very proud of you.
