"Having completed a recent holiday of the Upper South Island, I made a couple interesting observations - has anybody noticed there seems to be no Rubbish Bins in the rest areas between Nelson and Murchison. Where are we meant to put our rubbish - on the side of the road, maybe?
Also a couple of Motels that we stayed in, had Signs Up saying that they recycle, and encouraging visitors to separate their recyclable waste from general waste.
Imagine my surprise, when I saw one of the motels owners/franchise holders put the container holding Recycled Plastic, into the container holding Landfill Waste, when he thought no one was looking.

So we want to hear what you think:

60.8% Yes, supporting people is important!

23.5% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.7% ... It is complicated
