Hilary Chidlow Anyone living in the Auckland region will know all about O800 Smokey , the Auckland Regional Council s 2000 campaign to increase awareness of Auckland s air quality problems, and to get Aucklanders to do something about it. The success of the campaign has encouraged fuel companies and central government to commit to improve the quality of NZ s fuel and adopt new legislation on fuel specifications and vehicle emmissions. Teachers are critical as change agents in helping young people to value and care for their environment for the future. So, as part of a Ministry of Education national programme to up-skill teachers on Environmental Education, a series of workshops will be run in the Auckland region. Teacher relief will be paid for the second day but schools need to pay for the first day of the workshop.
