  • Shep Cheyenne,

    "Is this what the economists call a perverse incentive?"

    Of all the people here I thought you'ld know that ;)

    The loss to stores is the lost of human traffic advertising.
    Who doesn't know the red squashed cardboard box in the car park is from KFC, or the yellow bag in the gutter is from Pak N Save.

  • Shep Cheyenne,

    Any market reluctance to buying Steinlarger by the Crate, and using reuseable bottles?

    If there are any quality issues, it may be an oppitunity for Steinie to launch a new brand "Steinlarger Green" and catch the student market & middleaged-henpecked-by-ecokids market too.

    Steinlarger I would appreciate payment in beer for this brilliance.

    years ago (80s) I cycled around the South Island with a friend, every few km, especially down the Wairau Valley & Buller Gorge for some reason, we'd pass squashed McDonalds packaging.

    The odd thing was that at that time, there was no McDonalds in the South Island.

  • Kyle Matthews,

    The SOMEONE who didn't bring the effigy was indeed your own fair campus. Auckland's responsibility was the aforementioned statue, which was never meant to be burnt, and thus did not really burn very well at all. Took us hours and hours that statue! Twelve years this week and I'm still bitter.

    You brought an statue of Jim Bolger to Wellington and expected a busload of Dunedin students not to burn it? We didn't have any Minister come to our campus for 6 years straight, you can't expect us not to get excited as such an excellent look-alike.

  • Sue,

    what i want to know is how much of 'good's' carbon neutrality is just them paying somone like landcare to plant trees.

    while on some levels it's good to do that
    on others it's not a long term answer to solving problems

    oh and consumer mag out today has some interesting coverage of greening
