About Kate Fenwick

Hi there! I'm Kate Fenwick, a passionate advocate for waste reduction and resource recovery, dedicated to helping Kiwis across the country take responsibility for their environmental impact—both at home and in business. While I might not fit the typical “green” stereotype (yes, I drive a V8 and love a good steak), my mission is clear: to inspire meaningful change through education and engagement. As the resident waste expert on the TV program Eat Well For Less and a spokesperson for Love Food Hate Waste, I thrive on sharing knowledge and sparking conversations about sustainability. With over 19 years of experience, I have delivered more than 200 face-to-face sessions annually, working with corporates, councils, and the general public to motivate and educate. My team collaborates with over 50 councils nationwide, and in the past three years, we've embraced new media, leveraging platforms like TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram to reach audiences who may not engage with traditional messaging. Our dynamic, thought-provoking videos on recycling and resource recovery have not only expanded our social media presence but have also demonstrated the power of engaging content to shift public attitudes. I am fascinated by human behavior and the challenge of reaching those who feel unreachable. I believe that if everyone commits to making just one small change for the environment every day, we can collectively create a significant impact. Join me in questioning the legacy we leave for future generations. Together, let’s embrace the challenge of change—because if we do nothing, nothing will ever change. Remember: Do one thing. and make a change! Feel free to connect or reach out if you'd like to chat about waste reduction, resource recovery, or how we can work together to make a difference!
