The Kayes

The Kaye family recently moved across the ditch from Australia bringing their bad habits with them. They use more water bathing each day than the typical NZ household goes through for all their water needs. They waste power leaving their spa pool on 24/7 and Vicky has some interesting power sucking techniques to drown out Michael’s snoring every night. Its time to show these Aussie wasters how to become clean green Kiwis. With the help of the WA$TED! team, the Kaye Family will save $2,000 in household bills every year, reduce their household footprint from 17 to 8 times the size of their section and reduce their annual carbon dioxide emissions from 14 to 5 tonnes.
