METAL STRAW & CUP

What have you been doing to action the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at work, at school, or at home? Please specify which SDGs these actions connect to? 

At work:

- Made my own ice coffee at home everyday to avoid unnecessary plastic cups and straws which aligns with Target 12.5: "By 2030, substantially reduce waste generation through prevention, reduction, recycling, and reuse"

- Working in NZ Sovereign Green Bond team. The programme just launched this month - a progress in government plan to tackle climate change, protecting and restoring the environment and indigenous biodiversity, while building a more productive, sustainable and inclusive economy. Green Bond aims at finance/ refinance expenditures that contribute to a "greener" economy. 

  • SDG 8: Decent work and economic growth
  • SDG 11: Sustainable cities and communities
  • SDG 12: Responsible consumption and production
