He was in my PG Dip Bus class back in the 90's. Spectrum weirdo. Always had a 1000yd stare even when he was talking to you.

Weβre paying $1400 per carbon tonne to ship Aucklandβs food waste to Reporoa instead of just dumping it in the landfill and buying a $50 carbon credit.
We donβt have to. Weβre doing it to be nice to the planet - while polluting the environment moving it 240kmβs to do soβ¦
Lots of βrubbishβ like this making NZ so damn expensive to live, for no benefit.

In amongst all this madness, who gets the moolah from all this buying and selling of carbon credits?
Doesn't appear to be us
Can't see us sticking to Paris for much longer, Joe Public is finally cottoning onto the cost (probable $30b when we don't reach our targets in 2030)
Wonder what Baldy's strategy is

That's because you're so embedded in neoliberal propaganda, and so far gone to the right that you can't see anything but an individualistic me me me egotistical world view. Congratulations.

Turbo-charging tomatoes with Aucklandβs food scraps
Aucklandersβ food scraps now provide renewable energy to help to power the tomatoes that may very well end up on Aucklandersβ plates.

Why we are collecting food scraps
Find out the financial and environmental benefits of recycling food scraps and how the scraps will be collected, processed and monitored.
But you carry on, you continue your deliberate deflection of what a disaster for New Zealand this hard right anti democratic government of the rich, by the rich, for the rich actually is.
Should do a Jacinda. Virtue signal and then run.
What's a virtue signal Inruin? And help me understand the context that you're applying it here?

Henare was being talked up within MΔori as a future PM. Donβt think thatβs feasible now!Stuff

Kaipara has thrashed Peeni Henare to win Tamaki Makaurau. Maori turning out to vote
All by elections have low but thatβs appealing. You could almost say they didnβt meet the quorum and the winner doesnβt have a mandate to represent the people.

Obviously more voting for the Moari party candidate than the labour candidate all the same
Well, committing the country to over and above promises that we didn't need to and can't afford, and then skipping town. It's who they are. For the poor, by the poor, making all poorer.

So tell me is transporting food scraps across the country (at a huge environmental cost) better for the environment than putting it into landfill (where 70% is still recovered.) or down the waste disposal. Post the facts to support your position.
And then, offset that benefit by the cost of living pressure the enormous costs imposes on the poor and child poverty statistics. These are the people I care about. Solutions that help the environment AND donβt burden those in need financially.
A virtue signal was what happened with the O&G exploration ban. No consultation, no discussion, even her own caucus wasn't aware of what she was up to. No thought about the ramifications or downstream effects on investment
Made on the eve of her departure to France for the Climate talkfest where she could pretend to be the heroine
Your vested interests on display too wiz - your propaganda, your lies, you making shit up. As always.
Wiz, what vested interests do you have in food scraps?
Or is that easier than actually answering your questions and discussing it with you?

So you donβt know what the actual environmental benefits are? Or if there even are any?
Just more virtue signaling?
Another brainless decision where the impacts will be felt for decades by this shit government

You two should get a room.
Wiz is once again creating fiction. Any questions around the fiction he creates can't be answered by me.

Iβll help you out here as you seem to be have disengaged in logical and well reasoned conversation:
Eco Gas is a private company that runs Reporoa and takes the food scraps.
It should be publicly owned and then the gas emitted could offset the cost to councils and make it cashflow neutral or even positive. This is the ideal Green initiative that everyone can support.
But alas it was all started in 2000 under a Green/ Labour govtβ¦
Ah the left. This is who they are.
