Just when you thought things couldn’t get any worse 😡

An Australian outfit plans to fast-track a dirty new industry in Southland using FILTHY lignite (brown coal) to create urea.

Urea is synthetic nitrogen ‘fertiliser’ that drives dairy expansion, the pollution of rivers and contamination of drinking water and climate pollution.

It would be a disaster.

@JulianOliver @gordo
think of the ramifications of palantir for cattle on Australia’s herd of 26 million, where a huge % are destined for McDonalds in 190 nations. no doubt they’ll weave in a carbon credits angle too. Rinehart, Forrest, Murdoch + QLD govt will be all over it.
fyi @Qldaah Dutton = in charge of massive investments in cattle.

@jhaue @nickofnz is your toxic algal bloom in NZ a #toomanycows issue? #NZPol
No one in Australia is really addressing it, but given that Australia uses around 5 tonne of fertilizer a year which has to run off somewhere...guessing that South Australian algae might have some fossil fuelled fertiliser assistance in getting going...

Denmark’s “Pig Election” shows how industrial meat and dairy are polluting drinking water and why this fight matters far beyond Denmark. From nitrate contamination to pesticide pollution, communities are pushing back against Big Ag and demanding a different food system.
