Reasons To Disagree its a myth - but we are a bit cleaner than others

Reasons To Agree Every country needs to work harder to be clean and green not just for image but for the future. We need to support companies in NZ that are doing there bit to be green. Largely - they believe the propoganda. But so did I before I immigrated - now I realise what a pig's ear we made of things. That includes Maori - they brought the first rats, killed off the Moas etc before Euro's brought stoats and so on.

Reasons for Remain Neutral

Yes and no. I beleve the image of NZ has been clean and green, but I also believe this to be changing - however slowly. Despite having a beautfull country, acres of unspoilt wilderness and less industrial pollution than many overseas countries, NZ still has appallingly high levels of agricultural pollution. Poeple coming to our country are shocked to find that there are rivers you cannot swim in or drink from. No more so than other countries, admittedly, however this does not add to our reputation as a "clean, green" country. The ending of the moratorium on GE development here did not help, either.

Yes and No. Not that many people really know that much about us we are tiny in relation to the rest of the world.
