SOLD: Beautiful Happyzine

I see that the NZ Green Party have been running a campaignto ‘save our treasured places’, namely our national parks.  My son’s named after the Kahurangi National Park.  I love that park.  It looms green and lush over Golden Bay and sprawls down the South Island and I’d like it to continue to do so forever and ever, far into future generations.  The Greens have managed to gather 47,371 signatures of support to ‘save our treasured places’ and this is absolutely spectacular.

I was thinking today, as I drove back to Golden Bay (ahem, in my solar powered hemp car [ok, I can dream]) across the mysterious, cave-riddled Takaka Hill, how the benefits of maintaining our national parks far outweigh any other options. 

The really savvy way to go is get all ‘Sustainable NZ’ on the rest of the world.  It could be fun. 

 We could be like ‘Oh right, you’re after some Kiwi beef? That’ll be an extra five dollars per kilo thanks, you know, with us being such a pure, organic, healthy, green place, yeah, our stuff’s quite hot in demand  now, sorry’ and:

 ‘Oh right, I see you’d like to learn how to run your country on wind, sun and water … yeah, come and hang with us, we’ve been there, figured out how to make a go of it, won the awards …’   

I mean, really, we could do this.  It’s actually quite exciting when you get to thinking about it … 

 ‘Oh … you want to come and holiday in our totally permacultured town? Oh well that’s great, of course you’ll have to go through the usual processes that all holiday makers in permacultured towns go through.  You know … planting the native trees to off-set the carbon, learning how the composting toilets work, getting set up with your new organic cosmetics … the usual stuff … no worries though, it doesn’t take long!’

What do you think? Future green environmental policies in the making??

I reckon.

Think of the fun we could have!

“Conservation means that we will love it and protect it forever, so these wild places can be enjoyed by our children and all those that follow”, said Green Party MP Metiria Turei. 

Yeah.  Right on!

‘Oh you just did the Heaphy Track? It’s amazing eh? Did you know it’s locked up as conservation estate for the next twenty thousand years?’

Yep.  The future’s looking bright.
