In New Zealand we now have fishing competitions without fish because all the water from the rivers must be used for dairy farming.
Innovation.
Not.
Greenpeace alters Rakaia salmon statue, says ‘Fonterra killed the fish’. - Greenpeace Aotearoa

The equivalent of about 13,000 dairy cows’ effluent is pouring into the sea from Wellington’s waste water plant.
It’s disgusting.
But also, NZ has 6 MILLION dairy cows dumping untreated effluent on land and freshwater EVERY DAY and Luxon wants to increase that number.
And we closed the year by bringing the #NitrateEmergency affecting rural communities' drinking water to Fonterra's doorstep, by dumping 2 metric tons of slime outside their headquarters minutes before their shareholder meeting.
We occupied a Palm Kernel processing facility in Taranaki, because there are #tooManyCows in New Zealand's #DirtyDairy
