In this member spotlight, we talk to Kim Renshaw, team leader: waste minimisation & education at Tauranga City Council.
Kim is a new Behaviour Change Sector Group Steering Committee member, and says organising a zero-waste event in 2013 started her love affair with waste and system design.
"I work in the waste minimisation and engagement space and love the continual opportunity for improvement and contributing to better outcomes for people and planet. It’s a very humbling and rewarding space to work in."
Go out and talk to the processors, collectors and put some gloves on. Getting your hands dirty and actually thinking about the system and identifying the problems is the only way you’ll be able to start on solutions. Stay passionate and surround yourself with inspiring people - this industry is full of them. It’s a very humbling and rewarding space to work in.
What are you reading or listening to right now?
I have just started listening to the Anxious Generation by Jonathon Haidt, and conversely, I always have a serial killer fiction book by James Patterson for some light weekend/bedtime reading 😉

Beach, waves and sunshine.
