Waveney is absolutely stoked about that the NZ government is implementing a beverage container return scheme after many, many years of hard fighting by sustainability advocates and activists. She also been chatting to her green mates who are suddenly experiencing a huge and universal uptick in public engagement with environmental causes and organisations.
