Dodgy!
OPINION: If you believe Maori Party president John Tamihere’s claim that “nothing dodgy” occurred at Manurewa Marae during the last election, the Hound has a bridge to sell you.
A couple of recent examples are one major building company saying it will plant 30,000 tress 'to offset' carbon produced for its latest construction development and a windscreen company that is advertising the fact it will plant a tree for every windscreen it replaces.
Have these businesses not heard of carbon farming and the hugely negative impact it is having on our landscape with monoculture forests infesting and taking over good farmland up and down the country?
Let alone the mass destruction of jobs and communities these new plantations are having on rural communities.
Is tree planting the new greenwashing?
