The Greens should know better than spamming out mailboxes with unsolicited mail.

Also using plastic single-use cable-ties to plaster plastic single-use corflutes to fences and road signs. It doesn’t seam very Environmentally conscious to me.

I still hope they get more votes than the coalition though.

Greens pamphlets are printing on recycled paper using biodegradable ink, and their corflutes are doubled sided with a different greens candidate, which eases waste.

If you're this concerned about environmental damage, I hope you're vegan.

You raise a good point, they could have an interesting point of distinction with their election materials as opposed the other parties. The difference in materials could be eye catching in itself.

In saying that, i have noticed the Greens in my area have a higher rate of generic Greens Party corflutes, without the candidates, so thats something i suppose.

I despise the corflutes.

I tried having a whinge to our local council about the ones that seemed to contravene the rules but they didn't seem to care very much, and the law is quite permissive anyway.

Sadly I think they provide candidates the best RoI. There must be a better way.
