Saving the world "one banana skin at time" is the motto of a team of environmental ambassadors from Otumoetai Intermediate stationed at the 2016 AIMS Games.
Dubbed the "Green Team" and dressed in lime green, the group of students are promoting recycling by encouraging people to put their plastics, glass, cans, paper and general waste in the correct compost and recycling bins.
The recycling team was also collecting food scraps, which would help feed local pigs.
The initiative was aimed at making the NZCT AIMS Games more eco-friendly and sustainable.
Green Team ambassador Kobe Howitt, 12, said the team's mission was to reduce the amount of waste heading to the landfill.
