The Auckland regional council has very good resources for teachers with programmes such as Waste and Recycling, Tread Lightly on the Earth and A Word on Waste. Visit arc.govt.nz and click on the 'education' button.

Walking school Bus
2006-06-14 08:08:22 UTC
Walking school buses are promoting their zero emissions status during an Auckland Regional Council campaign to clear Auckland's air pollution. The Auckland region now has 148 walking school buses that run on human energy alone and are part of the Auckland Regional Transport Authority's (ARTA) region-wide school travel plan programme. Fourteen schools, with 27 walking school buses, have joined the ARC's air quality campaign. Walking school buses are 'driven' by a parent volunteer up the front, and a 'conductor' at the rear. Drivers and conductors supporting the ARC's campaign wear high-visibility vests with the slogan 'OUR WALKING SCHOOL BUS CLEARS THE AIR'. Over the next few weeks some schools will be accompanied by ARTA mascot MAXX the Pukeko, who will also be sporting a special campaign vest. Try the website arc.govt.org for more details.
