Honda late last year launched a new environmental awareness programme in schools, and will roll it out further this year.
Elm Park Primary School, in Pakuranga, was the first school to take part in Honda’s Blue Skies for Our Children initiative.
Elm Park students were already caring for the school environment, after creating a native
plant garden.
Honda helped the project in 2010 with a $400 donation to buy 80 native trees as part of its TreeFund programme.
“Children are our future, and so it’s important to encourage them to be environmentally friendly from an early age in the hope that our blue skies will always remain that way,” Honda Communications Manager Nicola Hoogenboom said.
Through Honda’s TreeFund programme, 10 native trees are funded for every new car that Honda New Zealand sells, with another three donated by the local Honda dealer.
Honda has donated almost half a million trees to New Zealand communities since 2004.
