Ellie Young's Company Details
The Nelson Environment Centre is a social enterprise that helps the Nelson Tasman community live more sustainably and reduce its impact on the environment. We're proud to have been serving our community since 1976. With 25 team members and 30 volunteers across two locations, we provide a range of services to assist people to take positive action: the Recycle Reuse Centre based in Annesbrook, Electronic Waste Recycling, and advice for businesses and organisations on how to reduce waste. We provide information and resources for the public and run community workshops on a variety of environmental topics. We also operate Kai Rescue, a food rescue initiative that collects surplus food and distributes it to charities to give to people in need. We help people to recycle, reduce waste and reduce energy use. We empower them to create healthy soils and gardens, grow food and to live well.Our aim is to inspire, inform and assist people to meet today's environmental challenges.
