Environmental Education

Marlborough District Council runs waste minimisation and environmental education programmes.

Business and Industry Programmes
Council can link you to a number of programmes.
Community Information
There are a number of pamphlets to help you help the environment, from composting to natural alternatives for your home and garden.
Education Programmes For Schools And School Age Children
We have developed a number of programmes which are curriculum linked where possible.
Enviroschools
A programme focused on creating more sustainable schools, which focuses on four key areas: place, programme, practices and people.
Marlborough Environment Awards
The Marlborough Environment Awards were established in the late 1990s to recognise and reward good environmental management in a range of industries and enterprises.
Sustainable Living
In recent years New Zealand has become a throw-away society. In Marlborough we throw away one rugby field of waste 15 storeys high each year.
