One again Rex, you don't see the big picture of what I say and you focus on details and try to slam me with you numbers, statistics and science fanciness. Your strategy to prove your point is getting ......read more

A good thing that came from these debates is that it seems clear that a classification of eco-friendly materials has to be put in place in NZ. All these ads and statements of eco-building are just a j......read more

Rex, you're a hard case! How do you know how long I've been eco if that even matters? Also have you got any clue of what economic system we're in? We're a GDP economy. However some very wholesome guy......read more
