4KT Elephant Elective

Each year, Dunedin sends 4 THOUSAND TONNES of textile waste to the Green Island landfill! These textiles makes up 5% of the total waste, and 8% of the carbon emission produced by the landfill. With awareness growing about the need for us to re-think how we produce and manage waste, and reduce our carbon emissions to slow global warming.

Students have been working hard in the textiles room, on this project initiative from Stitch Kitchen Dunedin to create elephants out of recycled/leftover materials. Look at these fantastic creations!
