The phrase "Clean green New Zealand" is often used in describing the country and is also used as a marketing tool. Whether it is justifiable is often debated academically, by government and by the popular media.
Origins edit
[1] The phrase is thought to originate in the mid 1980s around the time of the sinking of the Rainbow Warrior and the establishment of New Zealand's nuclear-free zone.[2] It has since entered into media lexicon as being representative of New Zealand image and also of dubious veracity.
