CUT CLIMATE POLLUTION FROM BIG DAIRY
The Government has released its long-delayed “Emissions Reduction Plan” to tackle the climate crisis, and it’s a huge disappointment. Even though the dairy industry is New Zealand’s worst climate polluter, it has once again been given a free pass, while the rest of us pay the price. New Zealand has too many cows, driven by too much synthetic nitrogen fertiliser. Rural people’s drinking water, our rivers and the climate are suffering. Instead, we can have thriving rural communities where people make their livelihoods farming in a way that keeps our water, land, and climate safe and healthy, through more plant-based regenerative organic agriculture. But we need Government action now. Join our call on Prime Minister Ardern and the Government to take real action to cut dairy emissions and to cut climate pollution from NZ's biggest polluter: industrial dairying. |
