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
Sorry for the facebook link but Shane Jones is furious about the slime. 🤣
It's not even his portfolio but he couldn't resist a chance to moan about greenpeace. 🤷

Watch the video!
Greenpeace activists in Auckland set up a 'nitrate emergency quarantine zone' outside of New Zealand’s largest dairy company, Fonterra, on the day of the company's annual investment meeting. They poured 2 metric tonnes of slime around the building in protest of rising pollution of lakes, rivers, and drinking water from the intensive dairy industry.

Three Greenpeace activists have been removed by police after protesting Fonterra’s shareholder meeting.
The activists set up a nitrate contamination tent and dumped two tonnes of simulated “toxic” slime at Fonterra HQ, forcing shareholders to walk through it, mirroring what many New Zealand communities are expected to live with as dairy pollution contaminates rivers and peoples' drinking water.

BREAKING! Fonterra HQ is under quarantine! Toxic slime is oozing out of the building’s main doors.
The building has been identified as ground zero of New Zealand’s nitrate crisis. So the Greenpeace nitrate emergency quarantine unit has shut down the building and installed decontamination tents to prevent the nitrate emergency from spreading further.

⚠️🚨Fonterra HQ seems to be under quarantine this morning 🚨⚠️
The Greenpeace Quarantine Unit is on the scene. We’ll have more information soon.
What a great week for New Zealand in the international stage!
Two awards recognising the hard work our government does to make everyone's lives worse, dirtier and more expensive.
First, awarded Fossil of the Day in Brazil #COP30 for our shameful back track on methane emissions.
Followed immediately by the Dirty Ashtray award for letting Big Tobacco dictate the country's health policy.
Well done! Truly being world leaders and setting an example on regulatory capture, corruption and science denial.

COP30 going as expected for New Zealand and its ecocidal, climate denialist government coalition. 😑
"The adoption of a 'no additional warming' target, rather than pursuing more ambitious reductions, was "an embarrassing and humiliating capture by industry", he said."

Our documentary "Something in the Water" is now live online for everyone to watch! 🎞️
This is an important issue that everyone should be more informed about, make a pot of popcorn and give it a watch. 🍿
Something in the Water follows Greenpeace Freshwater Campaigner Will Appelbe through the Canterbury region of New Zealand, as he meets people who are fighting to protect lakes, rivers, and drinking water from intensive dairy industry pollution.

"Will reducing the herds stop the wind and storms?"
-Not these ones mate, but it might help you survive the nightmare ones you'll be getting in 5-10 years time.
Local media is dropping the ball (again) by mostly failing to connect the extreme weather we've been experiencing to climate change, accelerated by methane and carbon emissions.
In NZ, the biggest source of pollution is agriculture and specifically the dairy industry, followed by transport.
The current government is failing to address this issue, and quite the opposite, making it much worse by bowing to the industry.
This connection needs to be made explicit.
Things will keep getting worse, infrastructure will need to be rebuilt over and over again, homes will be lost, and lives will be broken until we take meaningful action to rework our economy, energy and transport.
The climate crisis is here and our heads are still in the sand.

Privatise the profits ✅
Socialise the costs ✅
Imagine if we made the polluters pay.
That way we could reduce incentives for harmful activities AND have a pool of money ready to help those affected by climate disasters.
Instead our government is saying climate action is unnecessary, private profits are all that matter and if you get poisoned water, dead rivers, or lose everything in a flood or storm, you are on your own.
Get. Them. Out.

Yesterday: "We're ditching our methane targets. Climate change is not our problem to solve. This is how we help our farmers."
Today:
😑
Rainforests are being burned, peatlands are being drained, rows of palm trees are being planted in their place, and Fonterra is complicit.
Today, we took action.

Last week we watched Milked along with the Greenpeace volunteers and team.
While the optimism around "milk without the cow" using precision fermentation didn't really eventuate, everything else in the film holds up remarkably well years later.
Here's the entire #documentary, if you'd like to watch it too. 🐮
TW for some dead cow gore around the 59' mark.
Apologies, I am too late to share the live version tonight, but the team at @greenpeace has done a show about Fonterra, methane and why we hung a banner from their building last week.
