There are vast swathe's of suitable forest on the West Coast, and I think the bad old days are sufficiently behind us that we could have a real crack at being world leaders in sustainable forestry. Do the Greens still recoil in horror at such a statement? ;) (waits with ears peeled)

As I have mentioned before this bill is literally a breath of fresh air, and I would like to see every country (especially in the OECD) adopt a similar bill. So here is a rally call for Catherine, never underestimate the power of persuasion if members from National can cross the floor on this then great, but remember there are no "quid pro quo's " here. Check out the demise of the Irish Green Party. On the local front I think that we could save a lot of trees by using recycled timber. I have built nearly a whole hot house on recycled timber and it is a bit cheaper too.
