Here we go again: Only two days after I posted about a New Zealand Herald online poll finding that people don't want to spend any money to fight climate change, the paper is at it again.
This time, it's about a tax on rubbish as part of a plan to encourage waste minimisation. For householders, the tax is estimated to cost about ten cents per rubbish bag.
The Herald published another worthless online poll asking. “Are you prepared to pay more for rubbish collection to help reduce waste?” Again, the result was overwhelmingly negative.
This tells us mainly that some people are passionately opposed to taking any personal responsibility for fighting climate change and envronmental degradation. The question I'd like to see the Herald find the answer to is, why? but that'll take more than a stupid online poll to find out.
