Why New Zealand is a Green Country?

New Zealand is being challenged that although it seems like a clean green country what is really behind the scenes of recycling and is it really that clean and green or is it polluted and not well looked after?

Everyone in New Zealand recycles except for maybe 2% but the truth is every little bit counts. Once the locals have put their recycle bins out what happens after that? As soon as the recycling truck has collected your bin, it runs straight to the recycle plant. Next the recycling gets sorted into the materials as this is being done, the products that are not meant to be there get thrown out with the normal rubbish. Once this cycle is finished the recycled objects get put into bales and are getting ready for market. A lot of New Zealand recycled products get shipped overseas for processing although many of them are recycled in New Zealand. It depends on what region in New Zealand you are in because they recycle it different in different spots.

If New Zealand’s so clean and green then why do you see so much litter all over the beaches and I know that the countryside looks so marvellous and beautiful but what’s on the inside is what counts. Do people here in New Zealand actually care about their tiny little country that not even America knows about?

People in New Zealand do care about it but what about the people who use New Zealand? People immigrate here to get away from wars and bombs and sometimes the number of children is limited in some countries so they move here to have more and there is simply nothing we can do about it whilst our tiny population of 4,000,000 people is slowly increasing (the sheep as well).

So here we are the explanation on why I think New Zealand is clean and green!
