Mackle was concerned the resource was part of a "growing trend" of misinformation, such as the recent exhibition in Te Papa where fake dirty water was used as a sample from a farm stream.

There were some good aspects to Climate Change: Prepare Today, Live Well Tomorrow, such as making users think about how a warmer climate would affect New Zealand's biosecurity, but other parts of the resource were "extremely disappointing" said Mackle.
"Like the section that encourages kids to eat less dairy, which I guess we would challenge and there's a lack of context around it".
Much of the resource used information from North America where meat and dairy production was far less efficient said Mackle.
"New Zealand dairy farmers are the most emissions efficient producers of milk in the world".
"I think it really does fall short and I wish all Kiwis knew how good we were at this as context for when they make decisions".
