Poll: Could you go waste-free?
Tēnā koutou e hoa mā,
The Manawatū Standard's local columnist, Carly Thomas, has become a waste-free warrior. She lugs her keep-cups and tote bags everywhere she shops to reduce her impact on our ever increasing mountains of rubbish.
She's noticed supermarkets and stores are adapting to the needs of the waste-free warrior, making it easier to adapt to the lifestyle.

72% Yes, I'm making steps to cut back on my rubbish.
-
7.5% No, my lifestyle doesn't allow for me to go waste-free.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

58.4% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.8% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.8% ... It is complicated
