Sustainability in action

Ara Institute of Canterbury

Graduates of Ara Institute of Canterbury’s sustainability and outdoor education programmes really ‘walk the talk’. With sustainability such an integral part of their studies, they’re naturally motivated to put sustainability into action, wherever they can.

Recent graduate Timea Kovacs encouraged local tourism company Christchurch Sea Kayaking to sign up to Tourism Industry Aotearoa’s new sustainability initiative. Now, staff at the kayaking business collect rubbish as they move through the water and clients naturally join in. “We need more businesses, especially tour operators, to showcase this behaviour change,” says Timea.
