Congratulations to our mate Jason Pemberton of Volunteer Army Foundation who has just received the University of Canterbury (UC) Sustainability Office’s top annual award for his efforts in helping green the rebuild of Christchurch. The red zone reclamation project involved Pemberton securing access, through CERA, to uninhabited, red-zoned properties in Burwood. He organised groups of students to salvage outdoor materials such as fence timber, corrugated iron from sheds, paving stones and re-plantable vegetation. All this would otherwise have been landfilled but was instead put to recycling use in community projects, such as those organised by Gap Filler and Greening the Rubble.
