The protests have been organised by a variety of different groups.
“Fonterra and its farmers profit from dumping their pollution, and waste, for free, into our atmosphere, water and soil, causing worsening climate change, unswimmable rivers, undrinkable water, poor animal welfare, tropical deforestation, loss of amenity and biodiversity, and health risks to everyone, including bowel cancer and premature babies,” said Rob Taylor of
, a co-organiser of today’s Auckland protest.
“Fonterra is arguably Aotearoa’s worst polluter, and people are understandably upset about it; we can expect to see a lot more activism, not least because the Government has left the dairy industry out of the emissions trading scheme, and is resisting stronger controls on nitrate pollution,” he said.
