Collective action on climate change is important, but we can make a difference in our daily lives too. Zero Together is a Wellington City Council project supporting residents to understand and reduce their climate impact.
Join a series of practical, interactive workshops led by community facilitators to explore actions around transport, energy use, waste, food, shopping habits and more.
Many simple steps for a better future climate also have benefits now for the wider environment, community resilience, your budget and your health.
Together, our actions add up
Alongside hundreds of other cities and countries, Wellington has pledged to become a net zero carbon city by 2050. Zero carbon is an achievable but ambitious goal, and time is short.
With household behaviour contributing to 71% of the country’s carbon emissions, our daily decisions can have a significant collective impact. Most New Zealanders think we can reduce climate change and would make lifestyle changes to do so. However, it can be difficult to know where to start and how we can be most effective.
Based on the Future Living Skills programme, Zero Together makes climate action accessible, enjoyable and effective:
- highlighting existing opportunities and resources available in Wellington
- balancing information with experiential learning
- bringing participants together to share ideas, form connections and encourage each other
- Council subsidies keep course costs affordable at $5 a session
