    New Zealands clean, green image hides a dirty truth?



    New Zealand’s pristine landscapes and stunning vistas have made it a magnet for tourists and film directors.

    Its dairy exports have taken the world by storm.

    But behind this success story lies a shocking reality.

    New Zealand has some of the most polluted rivers in the developed world.

    Just under 30mins ...

    Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago ...

    River pollution, lead in the drinking water at ten times the WHO's recommendation, deforestation, massive government debt at every level, highest incidence of domestic violence in the world, a broken health system etc etc . . .

    Nice place . . . but definitely not as 'clean' as is advertised
