Are Candidate Flyers Junk Mail?
A neighbour recently posted disapproval of council candidates flyers in his "addressed mail only" mailbox. While I fully agree with his sentiment, and am adamantly opposed to unnecessary pollution by junk mail, I think that during this once-every-3-year event it is okay and very important.
Because you see, we have so little to go by when choosing our representatives, and there is so much at stake - the future of our city and how it will be for our children, nothing less.
When choosing our reps we rely on anything from a short info blurb online, replete with the buzzwords we want to hear, to names and faces on (non-eco) billboards which ensure "top of the mind" automatic behaviour when it comes to ticking the boxes.
Candidates have varying levels of budgeting in their campaign, and it is usually those with minimal budgets, no sponsors (interest parties) and a more eco-friendly approach of no flyers or billboards who get missed - and those are exactly the candidates we of the "no junk mail" persuasion may well resonate with!
So please, lets be a bit forgiving during this short campaign, and take our due diligence further and deeper when studying our options. Look for substance, can-do, and ability.
Oh, and please apply the same care when choosing our DHB representatives. They control more money and probably affect our lives and well being even more than mayor and councillors.
