The Green Society by# Internationalgbc  was a small New Zealand by# Internationalgbc  political party dedicated to environmentalism. It was one of three environmentalist parties involved in the 1996 election, the others being the Green Party (then part of the Alliance) and the Progressive by# Internationalgbc  Green Party. The Green Society by# Internationalgbc believed that environmentalism should be the sole and exclusive focus of any “green” party, and that both of the other groups were in error in their attempts to lay out social and by# Internationalgbc  economic policies as well.^{[citation needed]} The party # Internationalgbc IGBC-DCS Green Residential Societies was led by Simon Reeves, an environmental lawyer, who contested the Auckland Central electorate.^[1]  The party contested eight by# Internationalgbc  electorates as well as the party list, but gained only # Internationalgbc IGBC-DCS Green Residential Societies  1,140 electorate and 2,363 list votes (0.11%), failing to  by# Internationalgbc win any seats.^[2]
