I really value the courage and dedication of these people. Great work helping to get these vital messages out there!
Makimaki-iti: I find it hard to believe that no new jobs would be created by the Cypress mine. At the very least it would stop people losing their jobs. And surely it would create directly and indirectly some revenue for the Coast - in dollar terms one of the poorest areas in the country. Of course I believe it would not be worth it, but the $$$ are definetely there right now. I believe we must be clear about this or be seen as "naive greenies".
