A fantastic annual festival filled with environmental events, activities and sustainable living actions. Taking place across North Auckland, EcoFest North has been successfully running since 2013. At the same time, EcoMatters is hosting EcoFest West, and together we are creating Auckland's biggest environmental festival, #EcoFest 2020!
To inspire and empower people to share in nature’s revival and live lightly on this planet, we are spreading this message beyond our back yard and our community’s backyards. Through education, hands-on involvement and experiential activities, together we can affect behaviour change in our daily lives.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

59.8% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.8% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
