EARTH DAY 2024 Planet vs Plastics Envirohub Marlborough's Earth Day Picnic in the Park is our annual Flagship event, bringing our Marlborough community together to celebrate our beautiful Earth and share ways in which we can better protect it! A full family day of earth friendly fun awaits at Pollard Park in Blenheim, to mark international Earth Day, organised by Envirohub Marlborough. This annual zero-waste community picnic, which includes local musicians, awesome giveaways, environmental activities, tips about how to be environmentally sustainable at home and information about Marlborough’s fantastic environmental projects is a must on the Marlborough Events Calendar. Bring your own picnic, a blanket to sit on and enjoy Earth Day sustainably. Entry is free! This event is going to be entirely zero waste - and will be supported by our brand new Zero Waste Dishwashing Trailer and service. We will be supplying food vendors and the public with dishes, bowls, cutlery, cups (you name it!) that can be picked up by the public at stations and taken to the vendors, or if preferred, we can supply the vendors with a supply as well. We encourage the public to bring their own picnic set and/or their own cups/plates etc to eat with so we produce NO waste during the course of the event. The system is simple and we will have our team of staff and volunteers on the day to help you out. People grab what they need (clean and sterilised!), they take this to the vendor of their choice, the dirty dish is then placed at a collection station (signed and placed around the grounds and/or taken directly to the trailer) where we hygienically clean and sterilise everything for reuse again, and again, and again... and again! Keen to volunteer some time to help us out on this awesome community day out? We'd love to hear from you! Email: info@envirohub.co.nz and pop your hand up.

Zero Waste What is Zero Waste? Zero Waste' is exactly as it sounds. The creation of a circular economy where no waste is produced. Our society has become far too comfortable with single-use, throw-away and short-lived goods. Zero waste concepts follow a refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle and rot philosophy, reducing or ultimately eliminating what ends up in landfill and protecting the natural world in which we rely so heavily. This is also known as a 'circular economy'. For the Envirohub Marlborough Team, Zero Waste is a goal. Realistically, to achieve zero waste we need to instil a collective change in mindset and behaviour at a grassroots level. Thus, Envirohub and other environmental organisations, use the term 'Zero Waste' to define any substantial effort working toward achieving this ultimate goal. Image thanks to the Ministry for Environment The Zero Waste International Alliance definition of zero waste is: “Zero Waste is a goal that is ethical, economical, efficient and visionary, to guide people in changing their lifestyles and practices to emulate sustainable natural cycles, where all discarded materials are designed to become resources for others to use.” Image thanks to the Zero Waste Network Our Zero Waste Efforts Zero Waste Events With the assistance of our new Zero Waste Dishwashing Trailer we aim to normalise reuse concepts and provide reusable cutlery and crockery at events.

Some of the biggest threats to not only our Tūpoupou / Hector's dolphins but also our Māui dolphins, are fishing nets. Dolphins can become entangled and trapped, and as they need to breathe air, they can die in a matter of minutes. Ocean pollution and litter is also a large concern and threat. Our Hector's can accidentally eat plastic and other rubbish, or be affected by illness caused by human impact. Because our Hector's and Māui like to live close to shore our boating activities can also be a threat. Hector's can be accidentally hit by boats or struck by propellers. Tūpoupou Facts! Threats Tūpoupou Facts! What YOU can do! Don't worry! There are lots of ways you can help protect our Tūpoupou Hector's and other dolphins, while still enjoying the ocean: Be a responsible with your rubbish, make sure you dispose of your rubbish correctly, so it doesn't end up in the ocean. If you are fishing, make sure you follow the correct rules to keep our Hector's safe.

HOW CAN YOU HELP LITTLE BLUES? Glad you asked! Firstly, help to reduce our plastic waste. Plastic can end up in our oceans and harm not only our kororā but other marine species. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Refuse and Rot where possible! Keep an eye out for a beach cleanup near you and lend a helping hand. Click on the Plastic Free July logo, to help you get on your plastic free journey! Reduce plastic use! What you can do in your backyard: Help out your local trapping community. Practice trapping in your backyard, by putting up some traps around your property. If you have a pet cat, think about keeping them indoors at night-time, and have a bell on the collar. If you have a pet dog, make sure when on walks you keep your dog on a leash, especially around the coastline where kororā might be living. Use dog parks or off leash areas to allow your dog to let off steam. Get involved in coastal planting projects that might help encourage kororā to the area. Remember to be a tidy Kiwi and take rubbish home. What you can do when out and about: Go visit Kaipūpū Sanctuary! Visit Kaipūpū Sanctuary Kaipūpū Sanctuary is only ten minutes by water from Waitohi/Picton. On your visit, you may see fur seals, penguins, korimako, tūi, wētā and geckos (and many more). Rimu, miro, tōtara, ferns and many more varieties of plants feature. It is free to visit, but as a charity, your donations are welcome.

Zoe Luffman's Environmental Fund is a fund dedicated to supporting young women aged 13 to 18 years fighting to protect our local environments in Marlborough. Zoe Luffman's Environmental Fund "Each person leaves a print on the world. Identifying or building their legacy reminds us that their life mattered." - Dr. Denise Quinlan APPLY NOW Envirohub Marlborough officially launched the Zoe Luffman’s Environmental Fund in 2024 - uplifting and supporting young environmentalist women in Marlborough. The fund, constructed from the kind and generous donations from the community, including from within and beyond Marlborough, has been set aside for young women in Marlborough up to 21 years of age in support of their local environment projects. “Our goal is to truly support and uplift our young wāhine in Marlborough undertaking incredible things out there for our environment” says Envirohub Marlborough's Trustee, Ailie Suzuki. “Our inspiration for this fund, Zoe, and most of our organisation is made up of passionate, inspirational women, so we felt it appropriate to share our knowledge and experience, helping to boost, celebrate and nurture the next generation.”. “Through the generosity of our wonderful community we wish to funnel funds back into young people out there making a difference” adds Natasha Luxton, Conservation Kids NZ and Envirohub Marlborough Co-Founder and Trustee. “We also wish to provide guidance and direction through our various networks and connections, thus providing so much more than financial support alone.”. This fund was inspired by one of Envirohub Marlborough’s original Conservation Kids, Zoe, who from an incredibly young age was motivated to do what she could to protect the beautiful natural environment we all call home. From setting up the Long Island Litter Intelligence project to large-scale beach clean ups at her home of Rarangi, Zoe was determined to make a difference by starting local in order to have a greater global impact. In addition to the funds provided, Envirohub Marlborough also wishes to provide support via mentorship, guidance and providing connections to other networks, groups and organisations that are relevant to their project that may assist them in their journey. "When I was seven, I got involved with... conservation group[s] because I am passionate about the environment and I wanted to help. Then, when I was eleven, I got my dive ticket, so I was able to get involved with the dive clean-ups which is also a passion of mine... [My favourite part of being involved/volunteering is] when people finally start to understand that we need to do something to help this planet. Helping people gives me a huge boost of positivity as it's great to see people smiling!" Zoe Luffman. Excerpt from an interview about volunteering for Rarangi Dawn Chorus. DONATE This fund also welcomes any additional donations to keep the fund, and the support for these young Marlburian women, continuing for as long as possible. To donate, please go to: https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/zoe-luffmans-environmental-fund to make your donation. Any funds collected via this page will automatically be allocated to Zoe Luffman’s Environmental Fund.
