Today, the New Zealand Government announced a NZ $2 million dollar recycling programme to ensure the country is an environmentally responsible host of Rugby World Cup 2011 .
The initiative was announced by Environment Minister Nick Smith and will see over 700 ''Love NZ'' recycling stations for glass, plastic and cans at stadiums, Fanzones, main streets, airports, railway stations, bus terminals, campsites and main attractions in the 12 regions hosting RWC 2011 matches.
"The Government is determined that in hosting the largest event in our history, we minimise the impacts on our environment," Dr Smith said. "We also want to ensure the visiting 85,000 rugby fans and 2,500 international media have an experience that matches our 100% pure brand,” said Dr Smith.
