The banner reads Fonterra: Worst Climate Polluter.<div class=\"credit icon-left\"> \u00a9 Oren Oaariki \/ GREENPEACE<\/div><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p>Greenpeace spokesperson Christine Rose says, \u201cWe\u2019re at Fonterra&#8217;s head office on its annual reporting day to bring attention to the fact that the dairy giant is capitalising on climate pollution caused by too many cows.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cBig Dairy is New Zealand\u2019s worst climate polluter. The industry has been downplaying its role in the climate crisis and delaying action to cut climate pollution for far too long.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>Greenpeace activists installed a series of climate disaster images in the shape of cows in the courtyard in front of Fonterra\u2019s head offices early this morning.<\/p>\n\n<p>Rose says, \u201cThe intensive dairy industry\u2019s drive for profit has led to too many cows being crammed onto the land. New Zealand\u2019s giant dairy herd and the synthetic nitrogen fertiliser used to grow enough grass to feed it pollutes the climate with superheating methane and nitrous oxide gas. This has contributed to the devastating climate disasters we\u2019ve seen this year &#8211; from fires in Maui, Hawai\u2019i, to Cyclone Gabrielle here in Aotearoa.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>Between 1990 and 2019, the number of cows in New Zealand doubled from three million to six million. Dairy cattle alone account for almost a quarter of the country\u2019s climate pollution. Fonterra is New Zealand&#8217;s worst climate polluter.<\/p>\n\n<p>Greenpeace says its action today is a reminder that industry and political leaders can\u2019t keep giving dairy a free pass to pollute not only the climate but also New Zealand\u2019s rivers, lakes and drinking water.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cIt doesn\u2019t have to be this way,\u201d says Rose. \u201cWe can stop climate change from getting worse, but we need all political leaders to stand up to Big Dairy polluters like Fonterra and commit to urgent action to phase out synthetic nitrogen fertiliser and reduce the dairy herd.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cWe can do farming differently, in a way that allows people and nature to thrive. Farming in Aotearoa must switch to more plant-based regenerative, organic farming practices that work with, instead of against, nature. And all politicians must support this transition.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>Greenpeace, along with more than 50 other organisations, is calling for urgent climate action in the lead-up to the election, including on intensive dairy. They have produced a ten-point plan for climate action, known as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.climateshift.org.nz?redirect=greenpeace\">Climate Shift<\/a>. More than 15,000 New Zealanders have signed on in support of Climate Shift so far.<\/p>\n<div class=\"EmptyMessage\">Block content is empty.
