On 18 MAY 2010 Greenpeace activists blocked the fuel depot of Fonterra's Clandeboye factory in Canterbury. The action draws attention to how the company is damaging the climate by choosing to burn coal when cleaner alternatives exist another Fonterra Climate Crime.
The activists dumped three tonnes of wood pellets in the depot which supplies coal to the boilers of the plants milk driers and four locked themselves to equipment to stop coal deliveries. Greenpeace is calling on Fonterra - the country's third largest coal user and one of the largest emitters of greenhouse gases - to switch to a cleaner fuel source without delay.
