Andrew.Stewart Ltd, Proud Exhibitors at EcoDay 2009
EcoDay 2009 was a huge success with over 5000 people flocking to Olympic Park in New Lynn on Sunday 8 March for the event, now in its 7th year.
The free community festival, held in March of each year, included an Eco Expo featuring over 75 stallholders promoting environmentally friendly products and services as well as local, regional and national environmental and advocacy groups.
The Sustainable Living Centre and Trusts EcoHouse, located at the event site, were both open for guided and self-guided tours and there were free bus tours to local ecohomes. A seminar series ran throughout the day with over 300 people participating is sessions ranging from Transition Towns to Permaculture to Renewable Energy.
ASL are pleased to have had the opportunity to participate in such a worth while event. "Our emphasis is always on developing trusted relationships with both clients and suppliers, and with that in mind sustainability and community presence are high on our list" says senior environmental consultant Renate Schutte. Fellow exhibitor, environmental engineer Gareth Williams also notes: "despite the large scale of many ASL Projects, no job is too small and it was great to connect with like-minded members of the environmental community, we look forward to seeing everyone next year ".
