New dinosaur found, and it's Sir Robert Jones

Sir Robert Jones or Bob Jones, as he used to be known, doesn't like the new home of the department of conservation. Basically because Conservation House is a Green Party's wet dream.

It is energy efficient in lots of clever yet simple ways, uses water caught on the roof for non drinking purposes, encourages recycling and even has a big bike rack and a shower for cyclists.

Sir Robert claims that it is all a crock. New Zealand doesn't have a shortage of water or electricity. Worse still this building is very open plan and, in his opinion, people prefer to have their own offices.

What rock has he been living under?
Just over the hill in Wairarapa there have been hose bans and in numerous other places as well. As for electricity - if it isn't in short supply why is it so expensive? And back in the real world how many people have their own offices? Not many from what I have seen.

Sir Robert also of the opinion that only a suicidal lemming would want to ride a bicycle in Wellington.
He may have a point.
But I am fairly certain he doesn't think twice about filling up his car with petrol or start muttering under his breath went the price of a tankful goes up above his budget.

Now I am not a fan of the Green Party but you don't have to be a greenie to see the point of this building.

It saves dollars and that makes good sense to me.
