Surely spending, for example, $1 billion dollars here is vastly better than sending the same $1 billion offshore for buying carbon credits? With the latter it just disappears whereas the same spend here would provide a great many jobs, to would support nurseries and other related businesses, and all of that money, of course, would get circulated within the NZ economy. That's got to be better, right?
