EcoFOUR
STACES ROAD

Hi Guys and Gals, we're  The EcoFour, four damn sexy Shelia's living the county life in Aokautere.

There is Christina, the gym junky JAFA, hobbies include riding horses, bulls and cowboys. In retribution for the time she harrowed over a bunny she has taken to adopting anything with four legs.

Astra the Mud runner from somewhere down South (nobody is sure where exactly). Proudly rocking redbands and a swazie, rumor has it she even sleeps with her gummies on.

Vanessa, from Papakura brings the all important street cred to the team (don't know where Papakura is? Just watch police 10/7 and you'll find out). She's a proud Agy who can swing a gate, shear a sheep and knock up a cow all in a mornings work.

And Janina, whose kid wrangling skills are legendary in the world of early childhood education. She's our local rep having not managed to escape balmy Palmy just yet.

Oh and there's also our mascot: Oscar the Dalmatian with 177 Spots.

We're all looking forward to embracing our inner greenie and owning this years ECOWARS!

Massey Fergusons
FERGUSON STREET

Hi, we are the Massey Fergusons. We are called that because we all go to Massey University, and live on a flat on Ferguson Street. And also because there is a tractor called a "Massey Ferguson."

Funny you should mention tractors, because we all take primary industry based degrees (you use tractors in the primary industries) and as a result we have an in depth knowledge of the real need for environmental sustainability- to protect the ‘clean green image' which is integral to marketing New Zealand to the world. And for stopping global warming as that's bad too.

That's right. We're not hippies, and were not relying on our notoriously questionable morals to win your attention.

We're men, men who discovered the wheel and built the Eiffel Tower out of metal and brawn. And we're going to win.

NGATI KUMARA
MANAWATU STREET

Slogan: Sweeter than your average potato!

Ngā Mihi Koutou, tena koutou katoa. We named Ngati kumara translated the kumara (sweet potato) people have chosen this as our symbol due to the similarities we possess as people. Like the loved but humble vegetable kumara we are a group of 4 diverse open minded flatmates keen for a challenge, much the same as a kumara who enjoys the warmth and remains calm and collected while maturing. Quiet at first, but once you get past the tough skin the sweet, succulent kumara like people that are Ngati Kumara, be careful not to underestimate our abilities because should you choose to we will make you pay for it ! No reira Tena koutou katoa.

PLAYBOY MANSION
VICTORIA STREET

With one guy, three blondes and Rompert Rabbit; 121 Victoria Avenue is fit to be called ‘The Playboy Mansion'. Brought together from all parts of the world, our team consists of:

Sam ‘Hugh Hefner' Byatte, is from England/Auckland. He's is a laid back pommy git studying Aviation at Massey, filling in for our 4th flatmate. Sam pretty much lives here; having a cooked dinner every night, ice for his rum and coke and a gal to buck; he really is the Hugh of the mansion.

Fay ‘Tits' Baylis is from England/Tauranga. She's well known for being the life of the party, for those famous hooters that you can't keep your eyes off, and the fact that she's willing to give anything a go. Fay is well suited to her degree, Aviation Management, as she likes to be in control and can handle more than one cockpit a time.

Sophie ‘Slippery Fingered' Robertson is from Napier. She's your typical good girl by day, bad girl by night. She works hard and plays hard. Studying Primary School Teaching at Massey, this sexy school teacher has no problem cracking the whip and punishing those who don't live eco-friendly.

Finally, we have Katie ‘Queen Laqueefer' James who comes from the Wairapa. She can be a ditzy blonde at times and loves getting mortal on the weekends. Katie looks for any excuse to show off her party tricks. She's got a heart of gold and the attitude to match. This young lass is easy to love and is eager to keep NZ green!

Together at the Playboy mansion, we are dedicated to help the environment by getting clean and green whilst getting down and dirty! ;) xox

2012 Winners
The Playful Priests

As young Clark was rushing to the bathroom one fateful evening, he clumsily slipped on the large motor oil spill in the kitchen entrance, instantly being hit with a spiritual epiphany. Jesus spoke in a forceful tone, warning us of the impending doom we were facing. If we were not to change our ways and become eco-freaks the good lord would hold no mercy on our souls. Us 6 randy boys banded together in a holy union and sought out a path to greener lives.

Eco-wars, you are our waka, please guide the Playful Priests into becoming the greenest church in all of god's great universe. Hallelujah.

2011 Winners
skank palace

Once winter hit, the skanks were disgusted with the palace. It was cold, messy, with huge power bills and no recycling bins in sight! What was once a flourishing palace was now experiencing the worst skank drought for 15 years. Ecowars came along and the occupants of the palace saw this as their one last shot at changing their ways and ending the horrific drought.

On winning the 2011 Eco Wars these troops were well rewarded. Going into the awards night, only a whisker (obtained through natural moulting) separated Skank Palace and the Sustainatrons. The beer tasting was the deciding factor. All teams had managed not to drink their product, which according to our expert tasters was 'not bad'. The Skanks' brew came out tops with the result that they walked away with the grand prize.
