Minister, with carbon offsets under forestry, would it not make sense if all that carbon—if you allowed the forest to be harvested—were stored in such places as buildings, as carbon and timber in buildings, and then let the forest grow again and then harvest it and store it another lot of buildings and let the forest go again and then harvest it and store it in another lot of buildings? Wouldn’t this give a great capacity for a renewable form of carbon stored in cities and buildings all around the nation and all around the world?
